are you doing the larger or smaller manual, out of a n/a or a turbo supra? what you need is the first part of the drive shaft, the part that goes into the transmission, you dont need the part that bolts onto the diff. the front part of the shaft should bolt right onto the second part of your shaft, then it will be a little shorter and fit correctly. This is a list of what i needed from the manual for my tranny swap.

flywheel
clutch setup
break peddle
transmission
front part of the drive shaft
shifter

it all bolted up very nice, and no fabrication was needed at all. oh and something else i learned the hard way about the manual tranny out of the turbo supra i dont think it is the same way with the n/a tranny, but you have to bolt the clutch into the flywheel AFTER you bolt the transmission in. just put the clutch into the splines on the tranny and put them in as an assembally otherwise the transmission wont fit while trying to lift it into the car. and finally, just in case it is the larger tranny, you will either need to get the bottom brackets from the turbo engine, or use the bell housing from the automatic tranny, or two of the bolts will not line up correctly and you will be using 6 of the 8 bolts, which probably is not a good idea. and good luck getting that damn starter out of the car...
