T2 tranny automatic driveshaft question

iv searched and the information wasnt readily available so im hoping i can get a quick answer here.

im getting an 88 T2 tranny installed along with an N/A automatic driveshaft. doing this because the information i found in search suggest no problems for the most part.

my questions is this.

with that 88T2 tranny, does it matter what auto driveshaft i use? cant it be series 4 or 5 and/or do the years have to match up?

any info would be helpful, and any other info you think might be important to this venture.

thanks

Thumbs up Good question

I would guess either would work. But, my advice is to call Mazdatrix and ask. They have the issues around this conversion down pat.

www.mazdatrix.com (I think)

I have an auto S4 Sports (Aust. Factory) model with a j-spec turbo engine and all is well so far. Its been going well for years, and my best guess is that it has a N/A auto and driveline! Go figure. Sure I wish it was a manual but at least its good for city driving!
