Rear Differential Cover
Hey Guys,
I get a vibration at around 4k rpm's in second gear if I keep it there for a second. The previous owner went to the Mazda Dealership and they said I would need a whole new drive shaft, $300.
I've got two questions for you...
1) Where can I find the Rear Differential Gasket, I need good stuff, not crap that will blow as soon as I give it the gas.
2) Where can I find the U Joint & Driveshaft at if it does turn out to be the culprit; the driveshaft has never been replaced mind you.
Thanks,
Eric

what year is the car, if its 83-85 then you will need the whole driveshaft, the u joints aren't replaceable. www.mazdatrix.com sells an aftermarket shaft that has replaceable u joints, you should probably consider getting that one. as for the gasket, not sure, iirc its just silicone sealant....
