Re: How to know if driveshaft too long for t5 swap?
I have about 1/4" of gap from the yoke to the rubber seal plus the rubber seal can be pushed in another 3/8" or so. An angle gauge, a tape measure and little math showed that I would be just fine with 5/8" total gap with room to spare. I've gone to a road course with the car with no problems. I also have a rigid chassis and all new bushings, etc. An older "loose" car would require more gap.
