moving driveshaft

i am so pissed off. i almost threw my car out into my lake. the stupid car's AWD jacked it. i am wondering how someone installed their AWD. my driveshaft moves back and forth, making it impossible to keep the bevel gear and that cone gear in place. the bevel usually moves out of place and i have to reset it. the farthest i have gone is 7 feet without the bevel moving. i am really hoping someone can help me out. if not, i'm taking my car back to radioshack and getting a skyline instead. i have an rsx btw.

Ok you say you have the rsx right.
The RSX is a medium center shaft Xmod.

Look at the bottom of your car where the black motor pod attaches to the chassis.
You see three holes on each side with only two screws holding it together.
The RSX motor pod needs to be attached using the middle holes.

I can post a picture if you need one.

what is the motor pod? will this keep my drive shaft from sliding back and forth?

I just call the whole black assembly in the rear the motor pod because it looks like a pod to me and is removeable thats all.

Having the shaft installed right will keep it in place for you.Thats what the picture is there for to help make sure you got it set to the right length for the shaft you have.

If you buy a set of carbon fiber shafts from me you would be able to set your chassis to any of the three lengths.

AH I SEE NOW! so this will really make the shaft stay in place and make me be able to use my awd? sweet! the rsx is the one on the right, correct?

nope the RSX uses the hole setting in the middle the holes that have NO screws.
The one on the right is set for the supra, civic and skyline.

The one on the left is set to the short chassis setting because I was trying a model pajero body on it.
