Using N/A LSD (S5) and Driveshaft with TII Motor?

So I have an engine swapped car, however whoever did it failed to put in a TII LSD and driveshaft and my driveshaft needs to be replaced. So I'm trying to save money can I get away with using another N/a driveshaft?

Mods:
Exhaust
Intake

Are your u-joints bad? Search up replacing the u joints.

A TII Trans and a N/A Driveshaft needs a modified driveshaft. No way around that.

... Hmm well I'm pretty positive my car doesn't have LSD, I jacked up one end put it in neutral no e-brake and one tire touched the ground and the other rotated freely in the air.

I bought this car with a TII motor already swapped into it. Apparently the owner didn't swap in the TII LSD, or Driveshaft or Tranny (I suppose). I took it to a shop with what I believed was a TII driveshaft and the shop owner told me it didn't match up.

So what happens if you run a TII motor on N/A trans, diff, and driveshaft?

You'll get really good at replacing trannys.

Jesus I find out one thing after another.

Now I need to purchase TII Trans/Driveshaft/LSD. Looks like I'm gonna go talk to the guy I bought it from.

That happens to alot of people.

You need to find out whether or not you have a TII or NA Trans because you can use both with the N/A Diff with proper driveshaft customization.

Hence you may still have a TII Trans in it.
