      Looks good! BTW with that GSP axle,make sure it is not too tight or it might cause your hub to get very hot. John recently had this issue with his brand-new GSP axles (from Advance Auto). And they are new, not remans.

          gsp axle may not make it in the car it's getting swapped to 5spd of course unless axles are same from auto to manual.

          and yes it did clean up good

            Auto Vs Manual axles are different for drivers side.

                Both sides are different- the diffs are larger in the ATX. ATX diff is the same size as an F series IIRC

                  Thanks for the clarification... I knew the left one was different because I recently change the left side on the automatic I bought recently.
                  Seem like the transaxle seals are the same on the right for automatic and manual but different on the left.
                  Is that true?

                          That's exactly what color my first Festiva looked like when I bought one brand new back in 1991. My Ex crashed it 3-4 weeks after we bought it! Insurance repaired it, we divorced 2 years later and she took the car and crashed it again. Stupid woman.
