Jda222221 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I had some my u-joints couple u-joints fail completely on my 1985 Nissan in that time I think it did I believea lot of damage was done to my transmission and my transfer case from all the vibration so I was going to put the transmission and transfer case from my parts 82 with the z22 motor that I already swapped in. Can I just swap the whole driveline with the propeller shafts and everything besides the front diff? The rear propeller isnt as thick on the 82 as it is on the 85 due to the upgraded rear diff.

bottomwatcher Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Replace u joints and seals and go from there. The flanges and u joints changed between those years you may be looking at a lot of mismatched parts. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 The '82 flange on the differential won't fit the later '85. I don't know what Nissan was thinking but just to be jerks they also changed the spline on the pinion. Flange on the '82 is different from the flange spline on '83 and up 1 Quote Link to comment
