I was driving my n/a 86 and the car started to "shake, rattle, and roll" really bad. i made it home, then the next morning when i was driving it out to my friends garage to jack it up and see whats wrong with it my driveshaft fell out. so now i have to get a new u-joint, which means a new driveshaft. do i also need to get a new tranny? it looks a little banged up but nothing is bad with it, still can shift. has this ever happened to anyone else?

any help would be great, thanks.

if you pick up the aftermarket one from mazdatrix the u-joints are servicable.

You CAN rebuild the stock driveshaft!

I've never tried, just read it on the mazdatrix web site and their catalog.
