    When I put the t5 in my '83 hatch I seem to remember I used the driveshaft again. I think.

    Have a 1992 1352-209 2.3 T5 in my 79 2.3T.
    Car came with a RAD trans (4 speed, 4th 1:1 no o/d) from factory.
    Changed to a '91 5 speed Mustang drive shaft from salvage yard in 2002.
    Wire wheeled and repainted it before install. U-joints were fine.
    The oe ds was a bit too long to me. Front yoke was deeper into the trans.
    The replacement matched the same yoke depth as the RAD combo.
    2.3 5 speed ds is 41.5" long, 7.5 rear. V8 is prob the same one.
