Default Driveshaft

So I have a 2010 JK 2 door manual. My driveshaft went at work which is 30 minutes away from home. I found a guy with a driveshaft locally for 80.00 but his 2 door had an automatic transmission. Will this work?

I did think about that but 40 miles I feel is a long way in 4 hi with 5:13 gears and front is locked with an Aussie locker.

If u take it easy I'm sure u would be fine it's better then paying 80.00 for a drive shaft u may not want or a crapy stock one.

This is off Aussie web site. "Even on hightway driving the Aussie LockerŽ does not impede performance"

Yeah in 2 wheel drive. Once I put in 4 wheel it locks up the front and being the drive wheels and trying to turn. Idk. Maybe I will just order a Tom woods and let it sit
