Hey, folks...I'm in the process of pulling the trans (5 spd. man) out of my '96 Swift parts car when I see a shaft that just wasn't there on my '91 XFI or my '95 std Metro. The drive shaft on the drivers side looks the same, but on the pas. side, there's a ridgid shaft coming out of the trans...it's got a slight taper to it...maybe 8-10" long, & the drive shaft connects to it. Also, the pass. side drive shaft is about 2" shorter than the one that came out of the XFI, & the bearing surface & seal on the side that drives the wheel looks different. I'm off work for the weekend, so I don't have access to my dial calipers, or I'd give you exact dimensions...Am I SOL, or do I just need to pick up a part??....HELP...I REALLY need to get the XFI running so I can repair the rusted frame on the '95...it's getting pretty scary looking, & at the moment, it's my daily driver....Thanx in advance
