Driveshafts have 2 ends
And the other end would not fit your MY00 transmission's flange.
Not without a flange swap there.
But on the transmission its easy to swap flanges.
Never done that myself, that's what I read inhere and understand from looking at the Service Manual.

 

Damn. Could I just bore out the holes on the companion flange at the end of the driveshaft? If I recall correctly there are no threads on that part.

 

Just thought you guys would find this interesting. I had a new set of bolts to mate the diff and prop shaft. Just for kicks I wanted to see if the 8mm bolts fit the '04 diff. THEY DID! I took a bolt out of my car and put the same bolt I tested in the new diff on my old set up and it fit there as well!? I know for a fact this diff came out of an '04 bc my friend owns a body shop and his brother purchased an '04 with side damage. I looked at the thing- AP2 dash, console, wheels, hl&tl, bumpers, control arms, etc. Everything is from an '04. He bought a whole drop in subframe to replace damaged suspension parts that included a new diff so he sold this one to me. Whats the deal?
