Drive shaft compatibilty.
Does anybody know if newer 5mt driveshafts will fit our cars?

yeah, the flange on the diff may be different tho, but the shaft will work

cool. I can work with that. I was worried about carrier bearing mounting points.

Re: Drive shaft compatibilty.
Just looked up wheel bases for our cars and newer legacy models. Ours are 101.6 inches, newer gen 2 legacies are 103.5, gen 3 are 104.3.
While wheelbase doesn't dictate how far apart the trans and rear diff are, it's likely a decent indicator.
Has anybody ever actually used a gen 2 shaft on their first gen?
