    propshaft lenghts

    Hello!
    How much longer is 3B coupe propshaft than ABY coupe?
    Is it possible to mount 3B on ABY without shorten it?
    I know you can loosen the diff from subframe and puch it back and get
    a little more space, but is it enough?

    I dont think its that much 10-15mm something like that. I have heard people managing to fix a 6speed without changing the prop shaft as the shaft will extent a bit, and you can push the engine/gearbox back a bit to make up the difference. Not sure about doing it the other way around. Almost certain the info is on the forum somewhere, happy searching.

        It is only the front half that is different, which means you can use an avant ABY front half and your 3B coupe rear half if it is easier to source (i did this on my coupe)
