What drive shaft fits the svx with a 5spd?
I remember a while back a member found out that a drive shaft from another subaru was a perfect fit. Since i am throwing in a new clutch and 5spd (took a tooth from 2nd again) i figured i could throw one in while i am in there. Thanks

that would be great if it is true...
but I think you mean the legacy wagon one.... I put one in and I had to cut the cup, I think I also had to cut like 3/4 inch off the male piece that actually inserts... I had to drill out the spot welds on the center bearing and reweld the SVX bracket on to it in place of the lego's.... and I STILL had to have a DS shop shorten it by like .25 inches I think it was.

...oh wait, unless you have a 6 speed... the SVX DS I believe is fine as is with 6 speeds, the flange on the diff has to swap over though... among other things

What he said... But it is cheap to have one shortened.....what is expensive is getting one lengthened.... And if you get it shortened, you won't have to cut the cup....

I used a legacy one. Only had to switch the center bearing out with the SVX one. Then it bolted right in on my swap.

Just so you don't make the same mistake I did, the legacy driveshaft you need is going to be out of a 95-99 with a 5 speed transmission. It can be from a wagon or a sedan as they all share the same wheel base. Removing the dust cup is a necessity if you do not have it shortened.

Thanks for the quick responses.. Iam going to go sown and pick a 95 5spd drive shaft after work. So i don't necessarily need to shorten it, but if i dont i need to trim the cup on the trannie end of it? But if i do shorten it which end do i shorten, the shaft in front of the carrier bearing or the shaft behind the carrier bearing? Thanks again
