are they interchangable?

i have a T-II rearend i need to put in but one of the halfshafts has a damaged knuckle boot and is leaking grease due to shipping i was wondering if i can just use an N/A rearend halfshaft? will they mate the same?

 

No. Let me add, the TII shafts are thicker and the hub bearings are the same, but not certain about the flange. Just assumed the diff flange was larger on the TII, but need to check as I have a TII and NA up in the garage.

Sorry, hopefully someone else will know.

 

No, the bolt pattern is different.

That made it easy!

 

Even if they did bolt up i would think that they wouldn't be able to handle the power for very long. But what do i know?

 

thanks guys....ok now that i know this, can i just change out the boot on the flange? again the boot got cut so it's leaking grease, i'm trying to avoid trying to get another halfshaft just because of the boot.

 

They have the kits to change the boots and grease without the whole driveshaft.

 

oh no they can handle the power just fine. My manual TII is using an half shafts from an NA automatic.

 

ohhh word?
i'm assuming any Mazda dealership would have them? or is there someplace in particular that would have that kit for cheaper?
