It turns out my drive shaft cannot be used as a core for my auto to 4 spd swap- the rear u joint has welded washers holding it in place.
Looking for either an auto or manual E3 drive shaft. Or even just the rear section.
I'll obviously be willing to pay more for an entire manual drive shaft as the auto will require $500+ to lengthen and rebuild.
 
How long is the rear half of your d/s? I have a couple of old ones, including the one that came out of my 5-speed E3. These measurements are from the center of the u-joint to the end of the splined section. The shorter one was in my E3

Whelp, still in the hunt. Still looking for a at least a rear section driveshaft.
Jim @ Mesa Performance is going to have a look in his pile but that could be a while.
 
I have a complete manual drive shaft from a '73 E3. I only drove the car 1.5 miles 20 years ago and don't recall any issues with it.

Oh great! Sounds like a minter. Will PM.
 
@KHB - I PM'd you yesterday.

Anyone else have a whole drive shaft or rear piece for an E3 they'd like to sell?
