I dont know... I know the t2 tranny wont work on a 1st gen without a custom drive line... I have a chance to pick up a SE and it needs a tranny... I am thinking about picking it up and puting one of my spare 12a trannys in it and selling it... I havent looked at the car yet... I am trying to find out before I go look at it...

79-82 you need the driveshaft because of the spline, not the length. Again, I am not sure of that part.

but one of the guys in mazdatrix to me that non -SE and -SE driveshaft are both difrerent. because -SE driveshaft is shorter. but in tis case it doesnt mater because were arent talking about driveshaft
Nope. On the 13B's, the engine sits further forward, not backward. Same driveshafts.

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.........
All the 78-85 drive shafts are the same with two exceptions. The Auto trans is longer making their shafts shorter. The early cars have a different bolt pattern on the pinion flange than the later, so the shafts of course have a different pattern as well. I have swapped many late model pinion flanges (GS, GSL, & GSL-SE) with the early for the sole purpose of using the early style driveshaft with replacable u-joints. On the other hand, if you'd prefer to shell out $250-300 for a driveshaft you don't need...
Anyway, like I said before, with the exception of the 5th gear switch, any (GS, GL, GSL) 81-85 trans will bolt in to a GSL-SE. Yes it's got a different gearset in fith, yes it has a cooling vent for the clutch...and an early trans will have the course gears instead of the fine. One hint, plug the two extra wires together when you finish the swap...if you want to know why PM me.
