replace it with another one,go to a JY and find one.but dont get the CV type. find a 88 ta 90 B2 with a standard(fm146) tranny or a 85 and up with the A4LD(overdrive) automatic tranny. those two trannys are the same length

Josh:
First, you should have started a new thread, a lot of folks don't go back and check the older threads, even when they show a new posting.
Now, all you need to do, call your local auto parts store and tell them what you have, most are open till 6 or later.
Don't let the salesman sell you a CV joint drive line, they were fairly common on B2's and are $hi* to say the best about them.
I have gotten u-joint drive lines for every year of B2 from NAPA, they are normally more $$$, but at least they were able to get them.

Good Luck
