Re: Driveshaft Help please!!!
I'm fairly certain that the difference in drive shafts is a 1st gen vs 2nd gen thing (5spd vs 6spd). The 1st gen 5spds with 25 spline or 18 splines use the same drive shaft. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
The other thing about the driveshaft is that at one time, and I thought it was still this way, you cannot replace the U-joints, but instead have to replace the entire drive shaft. The reason was that the U-joints were held inplace with spotwelds. And even if you could cut them loose and remove them, Mitsubishi did not offer replacement U-joints. Perhaps by now someone has come up with a suitable replacement.
