Need driveshaft for 5 speed conversion - '73 3.0CS

[ES 1800]

Converting from 4 speed to 5 speed. In need of driveshaft. I'm going to copy what I believe I need based on information I received from a source in Finland.

"Shortened front driveshaft (shortened 85mm in my case with 35mm M5 guibo and the shortest Getrag 265 output flange)"

This is where the FAQ is your friend. There is a section on driveshafts in the top sources thread You probably want to look at driveshaft pro.

@rporsche, I really appreciate your educating me.

Jim, I used Driveshaft Pro and am in PA, their service was fast, even with shipping coast to coast, and the product fit perfectly.

Driveshaft Pro was a godsend from Paul Cain.
Previously I was paying the same amount plus 2 trips for drop off and pickup from a local company and they were terrible rebuilds.

When I had Driveshaft Pro do it I literally asked for "the Don" and they knew what I needed. Came fast and worked perfectly.

The only trick is which output flange you have as Don says there are three. I used them and had to use the big Guibo Don doesn’t like instead of the M5 one but I had both just in case.

I just bought a driveshaft from them for my 535is 5 speed conversion. Arrived quickly and is very nicely done. As Don notes, don't bother trying to get one modified, just buy a new one.
