Don't know anything about the DSM ATX but the JDM ATX is a W4A33-1-UNQ & W4A33-1-UNQ1. Is this the exact same model?

afaik, the usdm and jdm dsm awd atx's are the same (i'm certain the mechanicals are). the only significant physical difference between these and the 3/s is the bell-housing.Quote:

i'd love to see that done, actually. i'm confident it would work. evan and i only went the JDM import route, because i didn't feel like trying to blaze new territory on my DD. since i'll probably have either a vehiCROSS or a slk55 amg as a DD when i get back, i'm all about trying new shit.
You would think if the U joint was the same then it wouldn't be a problem at all.
everything IS the same, except the length of some shaft sections, and the nipple. the overall length is very, very close to identical.
I've seen it done but it was professionally welded..Quote:

Any competent driveshaft company can put whatever end you need on whatever shaft you want, provided the materials and diameters are compatible.
Milt, I was mainly wondering about the U joint. If it could be swapped in with a new one, no welding and stuff.
That's where I'm uncertain as well, Paul. I'm assuming those are press-fit, and if so...a good shop should be able to handle it.
