Default lightweight driveshaft for an automatic

Are lightweight driveshafts available for automatics? On americanmuscle.com, i found one but it's apparently only for a standard tranny.

Thanks in advance

If I might ask, why are you in the market for a lighter driveshaft?

The aluminum driveshaft from ford racing works on both the manual and auto transmissions. Im not sure why all these sites market it as "manual only". All you have to do to install it on a car with an auto tranny is swap the yoke.

Yah I got the aluminum driveshaft from ford racing and an aluminum flywheel from Fidanza. Only installed the driveshaft and I already felt the difference. I am guessing when I also put the flywheel in its gonna be a good gain from the stock setup.
