Default what drive shaft???

I have a 93 sc300 with a 2jz and R154 what drive shaft do I use?

Right now i have the 89 supra R154 front section and carrier bearing with the sc300 auto rear section...

The carrier bearing is too wide and wont fit and the drive shaft is about an inch too long do I have to remover the rubber bushing on the rear?

Thanks.

I was praying there would be a way around this as I dont want a single peice due to me driving at high rates of speed for extended periods of time.

30 threads on this but anyway........

If you have a 5 spd SC, the front half of a R154 bolted to the back half will work.
If you have an auto SC3, the front half of a R154 makes it too long.
You can use the entire auto SC3 d/s but it's too short.
You can't use the SC4 d/s.

Solution: get yourself the rear half of a SC 5 spd and mate it to the R154 front half, use the whole auto SC3 but deal with it being to short and leaking out of your rear seal, get a custon d/s.

Why that would be a problem?
