Sorry, didn't mean to get anyone fired up. Mine is clearly different and I was just going by my experience.

My five speed in the JH has a universal output on the rear of the tranny that has a female yolk on it. My solid one piece drive shaft has male splines that engage that yolk.

The other end of my 5 speed driveshaft has a U joint attached to a flange. This flange mates precisely with the diff input, which is also a flange. The diff in my car is from a 4 speed car.

My four speed transmission was similar, but the 4 speed drive shaft had a female yolk on one end, with the same flange on the other end for the diff. My four speed drive shaft would not work with my five speed, and visa versa.

So, it looks as if I've never seen a "real" five speed setup.
