driveshaft (halfshaft?) compatibiltiy
My kit car has custom length drive shafts due to the off centre diff mounting running standard 1.8 cv joints (push in type). I fancy switching to a flange type cv as it will make pulling the diff easier if/when needed (not much working room).
I understand the 1.8 push in and flange types are compatible as a complete assembly but what about the shaft itself - is that identical?

Mazda's parts catalog lists a different number for the early ('94-'95.5) shaft that goes with the flange vs. the later one (''95.5+) that goes directly into an inner CV joint.
So the short answer is that, no, they are probably not interchangeable.
