Default IS300 Auto to Manual Question

I have some parts off my manual SC that I was hoping to use on an auto IS300.

Is it possible to use the SC300 driveshaft on an IS300 when swapping to a W58 transmission /w JZ bellhousing?

If not, would the IS300 shaft work using the w58 transmission or would i need to locate a IS300 manual drive shaft?

I'm fairly certain you need a custom drive shaft to do what you're talking about..... and I don't mean custom as in you need to measure it, i mean you need one that's aftermarket and made for the exact chassis, rear end, and transmission/engine combo you intend to use.

Auto is300 drivesaft doesnt work with w55/w58.
I think a manual w55 one would work with w58. But I'm not sure if the w58 is longer.
Info is out there search for lengths
