Statesman driveshaft length

[Scullboy19]

Hey, so would like to know if anyone knows if the driveshaft in a statesman is the same length as a commodore because I’m gonna be changing my statesman to a manual and was worried about driveshaft length because ik the statesman is longer then a commodore but idk about the driveshaft so like would I use the manual driveshaft or a commodore auto driveshaft or what because if none of that works well then Idk what to do

Which statesman do you have?
If it's a WM or WN, then a manual ute tailshaft should work as they both share the long wheel base.
Don't know about the previous gens.

The overall length is different. If it's anything like the 2nd gen Commodores, you use a mix of the two. The front half is usually engine/gearbox specific, nd the rear half is body specific.

How do I use a mixture of the two?

Holden's use 2 piece drive shafts. 1st and 2nd gen (and some 3rd generation) have a CV joint in the middle. Simply unbolt at the CV joint ( 6 allen key bolts) and put the correct halves together to suit your car/engine/transmission combo. Just make sure you keep the universal joint phasing correct (the angular relationship between the front and rear universal joints).

Also, I suggest you alter your location details to just suburb or county etc. No need for full address. A little online security is a good thing.
