You could have clearance issues, get a 3.5" just in case.

i talked to shaftmaster's and they said it could be a problem with the saleen short throw shifter block. no problems with any others.

It is still pretty cheap compared to the competition, and it is a great mod.

Ok so...The shaftmasters DS is the best money I have spent on my car. I cannot comment about the install because I had my guy do it easily on a lift becauseI had to rotate my tires and change my fuel filter also.

First thing I noticed was that the car launched much smoother. Upshifts are nice and smooth, and the car glids and feels much lighter on its feet. Acceleration is much better also. All noises and vibrations are completely gone and that alone is worth the price for me. The best part is that it also made my car quieter and lessoned the drone noise substantially. Maybe the noise was due to all the vibrations. I am happy and if you get one of these shafts you will be too. I would say more but I am very tired.. it had been a hot day at work. Good luck with your shafts...no pun intended : )

put mine in tonight. you'll need a 12mm 12 pt socket and/or a 12mm box end 12 pt wrench. it took longer getting the car on & off jack stands than the swap took. +1 to what nickssezz, except tied with the frpp cak & headers. much smoother.
