Question about auto and manual axles

Ok, I bought the whole tranny conversion kit from Demian and I am going to get it in within the next couple of days. I contacted the shop that it is being sent from about the parts list for the kit, and they said that they used his auto axles when they did the conversion. However, everyone who did the conversion on the .org has always went ahead and bought the manual axles. Will my auto axles fit on the manual tranny like his shop said they will? Or will I have to go out and buy the axles? Thanks all.

After I did mine, I installed manual axles from raxles.com. After about a week the passenger side axle started poping, so I replaced it with the one off my auto. It fit right in there and I'm still driving on it. But I think the drivers side axle is a little too short.

BTW, how much did each axle cost from them?

Thanks Iron....

I believe they were 130 a piece after the core.

i ordered mine from autozone...when i compared the two...they looked identical..same length too...i tried counting the spline but it was too lil and i kept losing my spot...so i stopped...wat i suggest is...when u take ur shaft off...stick it in the manual tranny while it's off the car to see if it fits...my original one busted so i went ahead and changed it...
