    E34 6 speed driveshaft specs

    Hello, I have just about everything done and ready on my 6 speed manual swap E32 740I. I'm in need of the e34 540i driveshaft and I'm wondering if anyone knows the exact length of the manual driveshaft. Based on rough measuring of the transmissions I need to lengthen mine by about 5-6 inches but would appreciate if anyone has a definite measurement on a 540i manual driveshaft... Or one for sale. Thanks

    I get 58.375 inches give or take like a 1/16 inch because of the play in the differential connection. That is flange to flange on a 1995 540i/6

    Let me know if you need anything else on this. My driveshaft is currently uninstalled
