Any difference?

Is there any difference in the drive shaft of a d250 and a w250? also i have a torque converter from a automatic d250, can i use it in my 5spd d250?

if your d250 is a 5 speed theres no need for a torque converter, you will have a clutch instead. the d250 one would be longer i think because it bolts to the tailhousing instead of the back of the transfer case.
