It doesnt match the new trans i got, its another five speed from 280zx but dont remember the year. Previously in my car was apparently a 280zx tranny but the part that doesnt match up is the teeth on the driveshaff to the trans. My first trans would always shoot out fifth gear and eventually spread(year of driving), i wouldnt think a driveshaft would do something like that, plus if it be half inch longer i wouldnt think it would fit all together. Is there a difference between the 280zvs280zx driveshafts?
