How can I tell if i have a steel or aluminum driveshaft by looking at it? I have a 99 ta and i need to know if it has a steel or aluminum driveshaft. The original rear broke, and was swapped out with one that had 3.23's, and i don't know if the driveshaft was also swapped out. How can i tell by looking?

the aluminum driveshaft will look silver, where the steel driveshafts tend to look a little rusty. The aluminum ones always have kind of a clean look to them. Steel ones won't

No. M6s ALWAYS had 3.42s in them except for one year, 93. The 6 speeds had the 3.42s because CAGS would bog down the car too much with 3.23 gears from what I was told.
