Just so people can work this out.
zook is a 98 grand vit 5 door v6 auto
Basically bottomed out and pushed the driveshaft through the alloy centre,diff.
can u swap in the earlier steel 3rd member? into this zook?
and if so what models he / i looking for?
Edit- going by this thread

Thanks for the clarification. I could barely understand what the OP said.
Answering your question. Yes it has been done before-changing from alloy to steel diff centres. Search is your friend. Do it before you get flamed.

I thought the manuals were steel, the auto's alloy. Have to check mine when I get home, I was sure it was steel.
Also, is English your first langauge?

Are we talking about the diff centre or pumpkin (case)?
Surely a centre would not be alloy.
