I highly recommend the U-joint style, as the length of these can be changed (versus the CV-joint style). ]A competent driveshaft shop can alter the length of the DOJ style shaft.


You would need the 3.54 limited-slip rear diff from an SVX, as well as the proper ring and pinion to match your *new* manual tranny. You could also use a rear diff with a VLSD and the correct gear ratio and avoid the swapping of parts.

You would need a rear diff carrier/mount to bolt it up to the car. Finally, you'd need a pair of SVX rear half shafts.

This FWD slush to AWD MT is sort of a Frankenstien, but I would presume that it's not much additional work compared to the normal AWD slush to MT swap.
