how common is it to snap an axle in a gsr?
a friend of mine has a 94 gsr and i got a call today to come look at it for him because something was ****ed up on it. turns out he snapped an axle (driveshaft) on the drivers side. im just wondering what caused it. it wasnt at any of the joints or anything it was the actual shaft, which i didnt think was normal since its a solid steel shaft. (i can draw a diagram if needed to show where it snapped, just tell me if you want me to)
oh yea, also will a axle from an ls auto tranny be the same as the one for a gsr 5sp? there is a ls at a local salvage yard with an auto tranny and it would be easyer (and cheaper) if they were the same and i could just use that.
thanks
