You are going to need a ABS or non-ABS S14 driveshaft depending on what you have. The S13 driveshaft won’t work on the S14. ---

It may fit but… The shafts are different lengths and it would be a foolish idea to run the auto shaft in a manual car = accident waiting to happen. The S13 clutch pedal will work in an S14 but requires spacers. For that price its well worth the purchase and finding the additional parts. ---

I am waiting to hear from Chris(canadiandrifter240), he did litz 's S14 and I’m not certain but believe he is running a modified driveshaft different length’s… how different? I ran the abs drivshaft with an open diff (nonabs) I mean its onl 3/4" difference… ---

You can not use a auto drive shaft because the Yoke is a different size, the auto drive shaft will not fit into the tailstock of the 5 speed. Lengths are the same manual to auto. I have had success useing 1/2 of a s13 manual drive shaft with half of an auto s14 drive shaft but this is alot of work and not worth the time. Ryan I will compile a list tomarrow for you …I am so verey busy right now but I have the day off wed so shoot me a PM to remind me and I will get it together for you. ---
