Re: Newbie in newy intro
Firstly, welcome to the club. Now,there are quite a few different driveshafts, depending on 4sp tip, 5sp tip or manual and ABS/Non ABS and LSD or non LSD.

WTTC.
Sorry, but are you positive it's a 4spd?
97 was when they went to 5spd tip.
Unless it's a very early model, last of the 4s...
Ours is an April 1997, and 5spd tip equipped.
Might suggest you pop your de3a vin number in dstocks website to confirm your car.

Ive got some driveshafts on the shelf in the shed. Problem is, should have labelled them when I took them out. You may need to make some measurements, but given the ones you are after are the most common ones, its likely I have some.
