Does '03 driveshaft work in '01 Cobra w/T-56?

[Iwvustang]

As you well know I blew out second gear. Well, I have decided to drain my poor bank account and get a used T-56. Now I know that I would need to shorten my driveshaft 3/4", but would it be possible to just use an '03 driveshaft? (a guy is selling tranny/clutch/flywheel/driveshaft)

I would think so.

Yes, but the pinion flange adaptor will be wrong. You'll need to swap the adaptor from your 01 shaft onto the 03 shaft. The 03 shaft uses 1350 u-joints as opposed to the 1330's on your 01, so you'll need to get a 1330/1350 combo joint. Get a Spicer if you can find it, and avoid the Neapco. I bought a Neapco first when I was trying to move the aluminum driveshaft from my 99 to my 03, and it wouldn't fit between the ears. I haven't tried one on a stock 03 shaft, but I imagine it has the same problem.
