I went to replace my U-joints and found no clips holding it on,Wiki says that I have the one's that can't be replaced....What do you do? Is there a way to replace them?
Do you junk the shaft cause the U-joints are bad?I have a shaft out of an automatic there the same length, can I use that one? Any help would be appreciated.

Wiki says you can buy special U-joints for non-replaceable driveshaft..

That's what the car manufacturers recommend.

Only the 63-series 5-speed driveshaft is same length as the automatic driveshaft. All 4-speeds and most 5-speeds are a different length than automatic.

Ask the company that sells the U-joints, they have instructions.
