This is what I'm going to do.....was informed by a member from teamfc3s.com

Get a Turbo II driveshaft and a Turbo II diff. flange....I guess the only thing that makes the TII driveshaft not fit is that the flange is bigger, so you take the n/a flange and the TII flange to a local machine shop, have them machine the TII flange to the size of the n/a one.

Any driveline shop can make you a custom shaft.

Mazdatrix will also sell you their replaceable u-joint driveshaft with mis-matched parts so you can use a TII transmission with an NA differential.

Personally, I would recommend just pulling the rear subframe from a junkyard TII. Then you will have the stronger differential and halfshafts, too.

It is probably best to buy a new driveshaft no matter what you choose, as the orginals are all pretty much shot at this age.
