Hi!
I'm in process to change my automatic transmission of my cab. plus of my 1988 mazda b2200 to a 5 speed manual transmission. The only piece that i don't have is the drive shaft. Some people tell me that the current drive shaft of my automatic transmission will fit in the manual transmission. Is this true? It will work fine?
Thank you

Hello,

You will not be able to use the old drive shaft because the front yoke and length is different.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
