V6 Intermediate Shaft - Replacement

Post by mazdags94 »

When swapping from ATX to MTX, the passenger side axle is not long enough (by about 3/4" or so (enough where gear oil leaks out of the tranny.

Question 1:
Is the cv joint and mid-shaft all one piece with a bearing pressed over one section or can the mid-shaft be seperated from the cv joint?

Question 2:
IF they can be seperated, how can this be done? Does it have to be disassembled to be seperated or is there an easier way?

Question 3:
Does anyone have any pics of a seperated mid-shaft and cv joint?

Basically, I need a longer PS CV joint from a MTX because the mid-shaft and cv joint combo from the ATX isn't long enough. I'm just not sure how to approach this.

Thanks in advance for anyone's input.
