if u have a auto drive shaft it MAY work but at ur own risk (i have one for sale) the na ds wont work with a turbo tranny. if want to keep na rear, need custom shaft (mazdatrix makes them) otherwise do a t2 rear too and get a t2 shaft.

You can use it. NA diff fits with NA DS.

No, a custom shaft would need to be made. I believe Mazdatrix sells one though.

An NA drivetrain part will only work with all other NA drivetrain parts.

A T2 drivetrain part will only work with all other T2 drivetrain parts.

Do not use an auto driveshaft with anything other than an auto tranny though, the spline is the same as the T2, but is a bit shorter than is needed.
