[MercRS]

Have a 1988 mercury cougar it’s been changed to a t5 and 8.8 can a mustang driveshaft be put in
The cougar?

 

[General karthief]

I would think it would be too short.
Where do you park all those cars?

 

[MercRS]

In a barn

Someone said aod driveshafts have extra balancers than t5 shaft

 

[Mstng93SSP]

They do on the yoke.

 

[MercRS]

Can that cause vibrations on a t5 car

 

[Mustang5L5]

You can just swap the yoke with that from a 5-spd.

I also want to say the driveshaft is a different lenght but not 100% certain so don't take that to the bank. I know the AOD in the cougar is longer.

 

[MercRS]

Ok will look
No idea what’s under there not sure if they had aod shaft cut
But with bad vibrations going to start there
