Is there any one here that has enough smarts to know what axles will fit what models and what wont.

I had a drive-shaft/cv joint replaced a few years ago on my then 4 speed auto TH and was told that the shaft was a specific one to that model and couldn't be swapped for a std one ,what ever that is.

Now l have a 3.0 manual box and need to replace the passenger side cv joint.
(i think we used the old auto drive shaft in the conversion,cant remember )

What models Magna's can i simply go to wreckers and get a shaft off and it will drop into my manual box ?

I have a GTV wreck at home ,but ,i have been told ,that i can use the drivers side shaft ,but not the passenger because of the 5 speed auto ,fair enough.

Are CV joints interchangeable between all models?

Thanks.

oh.....and i did search through ten pages of threads looking for some thing about CV/Drive shafts but there wasn't any thing specific as to what bolted up to what.

Did you see this thread?

Mike, aside from that thread, I am sure I have told you this before as well lol

You CAN use the Drivers side Drive shaft but not the intermediate shaft
You CAN NOT use the passenger side

Can i use the CV joints from the 5sp auto box drive shafts on my 4sp auto shafts..?

yeah...i know that i cant use the passenger shaft as it goes into the 5sp with different splines....

because you told me when i asked you ,but i guess i didnt make myself clear enough which shaft/cv joint i needed for what...

All i want to know is whether or not the CV joints are interchangeable between shafts,regardless of where they come from.

Michael, dont bother taking joints off shafts, is a waste of time and money. If oyu need a new shaft, get one.

You can use some joints on other shafts, there was such a mix and match of shafts is not possible to say if a particular joint will fit a particular shaft
