Is the P/N for alum shafts in 93-97 cars (Camaros, TAs and Firebirds) the same? Are these shafts interchangeable--will a 93 fit a 97 etc? If so, are there exceptions?

All the 83-97 or so driveshafts are basically the same, 700R4, 4L60E, T56 and T5 driveshafts are all the same. Its anybodies guess on the LS1 cars though.

Fourth gen through 97 fit our cars. I am not sure about the LS1 vehicles.

 

oops... looks like drew beat me to the Post button

 

I just put a ls1 ds in my third gen.

 

Apparently there are different part numbers for 93-97 autos (12554454) and manuals (12554456). LS1 has a P/N of 12559525. There's even a first design in the first part of 93 (26004464). If the shafts are interchangeable in those years--93-97--why the difference in part numbers? Frankly, I don't know with certainty if the above numbers are even alum.

the LS1 DS is aluminum

 

jcb,

You'll notice that I posted on that link too.

I e-mailed Dal at VanDevere Oldsmobile about prices on new driveshafts for my '91 and my roommates '96 Z28 before I bought one from you. The part number is the same for both. At the time, we both had A4s. I didn't ask if the part number is the same for the T56 in the '96, but it did fit with no problems once we did the swap.
