i have a 2002 ss six speed aluminum drive shaft. i replaced u joints not long ago and ended up bending the ears on one end. i thought it was ok but i developed a vibration. i stopped by my local salvage yard to get a price on a used one,i was told $75 but there was a difference between gear ratio's, i never heard of that before. is this true? they have the higher ratio drive shaft in stock i think mine is 3.42 which she said they would have to order and would be more money. i could see a difference between auto and stick along with maybe 6 and 8 cyl cars. any help would be appreciated.
