This is probably going to sound dumb but,  
ok so i have an non abs s13, could i use a ABS tranny for a MT swap? someone told me that the tranny itself is the same and only the driveshaft is ABS or non ABS… therefor i would only need a non ABS drive shaft and can use any s13 tranny correct?  
my breaks are non ABS so therefor i would need to use a non ABS drive shaft correct?

…goddamn exams frying my brain

thanks.

abs diff is a lil longer than a non abs diff, so that means that an abs driveshaft is shorter than a non abs driveshaft…

in your case when you buy your swap make sure you either get non abs or if you get abs, get the diff too!

abs or non abs driveshaft lengths differ because of the rear differential. If your car is non abs, then use the non abs MT drive shaft so you have the correct length.

corpse beat me to it.
