welcome to the club. Did it also kill your tranny or did you get lucky?

I just got the www.mazdatrix.com DS yesterday and installed today. It's serviceable so you just buy the U-joints next time they fail.

Also, post pics of your GTUs. QUite a few of them in here.

If you bring your old drive shaft into any competent driveline shop they'll change the u-joints and balance it for you. I paid ~$200 to have mine done in the spring time. Grease nipples on the new u-joints, painted all fancy black......just as another option. People say that you can't change them, but you can

^^agreed. Worse case scenario they cut and weld the drive shaft to accept replaceable fittings.
