87 vs 87.5 to 88 TII differential differences
I snapped the stub shaft in my 87 TII differential yesterday and realized when looking for a new one that they apparently had some differences in these years. The stub shaft is clearly different and the axles that go with them are different. Anyone know why mazda did this? Is one stronger?

I belive mine to be the early 87 version rather than the shorter one. Let me know if you have one you are willing to part with for a descent price. Or of you want to trade something ( instead of me selling you an rtek and buying a megasquirt like last time)
