My NA driveshaft lasted exactly 197K miles
I was hearing a clunking noise when I shifted and thought my clutch or transmission was about to bite the dust. Stopped by TDR on Friday and found out my driveshaft was toast. Picked up a used one and new seal and installed on Saturday. It was an easy job compared to other things I have done lately. I just had to disconnect the FM catback at the cat to get the driveshaft out. Luckily, I did not have to remove the FM butterfly brace which is a PITA. Thanks to Black Roadster and gabkwong for their help!

Which seal did you replace? I just picked up a used driveshaft because mine is making all sorts of clanky noises like you described. I plan to swap it with my rosenthal clutch kit. Any other seals I need to know about, with regards to the driveshaft, that don't come in a clutch kit?

There is a seal at the rear of the tranny where the driveshaft inserts into it. You just knock it out with a screwdriver. The plastic rings on my old seal were brittle and falling apart. TDR usually stocks the OEM part, but you may want to call to see if they have another one.

We do have them. We sell and stock all the seals recommended when installing a new clutch. Give us a call or swing by if we can help.
Glad to see you got it running and it was a simple job. I told ya it was.
