Carbon driveshaft and short shifters
 
Do you know of a carbon driveshaft that's compatible with short shifters?
I have a JDM TRD short shifter on mine...
Thanks!

The mounting and install of a drive shaft and a short shifter are unrelated. If you have an MT, you need an MT drive shaft. If you have an AT, you need an AT drive shaft. They are not the same.

To his credit, there are known issues with aftermarket driveshafts and short throw shifters. I don't have an answer for him, but I wanted to posit that there are known installation issues

Haven’t heard that before. What would the interference be.

I think the larger diameter of the carbon driveshafts causes fitment issues with aftermarket shifters.

Ahhh I could see that. Another reason to go IRP.

I have a JDM TRD shifter and a carbon fiber driveshaft. No issues.

Which brand of driveshaft?

I have oem shifter with an aluminum Drive Shaft Shop shaft and have no problems. My U joints were bad and it seemed the logical to go with an upgrade. IMHO I did not see a huge advantage in going with carbon fiber.

I see they have really gone up in price since I got mine years ago.

I have a DSS aluminum 3" as well. How long did it take for the U-joints to fail? did you just replace them yourself with a U-joint remover fixture

Thanks for the suggestion!
Just to be sure, do you have the JDM TRD and not STi, right?
