has anyone bought a new one or renewed the bearings and snap ring ? its the extension shaft between the gearbox and the right driveshaft..... if so where would i get the parts from ? mitsu? repco dont list anything. also are the 3.0 manual and 3.5 auto the same with these shafts ?

Bearings are the same. Bearings are a genuine part and come with the shaft. Better to get used one to be honest. Far cheaper

thanks Mal i pulled mine out today and gave it a clean (spline area and cir clip) all is good now.
