Ok since this one is short then,
You need to find the correct way to measure the car for the length of the drive shaft,I think it falls something like this,but its been probally almost 7-10 yrs since I had to do this,and keep in mind this was on a GM product that the yoke slides off the shaft..
Slide the Yoke,wall the way in the tranny..
Mesure from the back of the Yoke,on one of the ears.. to the back of the car to the front of the rear end.I think the back of the drive shaft needs to be mounted..
I have a loose back peice that can you bolt up to get the mesurements..
I may be wrong so you would be better offf calling them and getting the correct mesurement,and see if you gave them a total mesurement if it will work,then maybe go to RX7 club to get the mesurement,for the proper fitting..
If you was going to buy a new one,then getting one built @ Mikes will be worth your time,
1)You will have U joints that you can replace..
Keep in mind,You cannot get U joints OEM ones for the FC driveshafts,
Your best bet will be Mikes,I turned you on to Amazon,You wont be dissaopinted in Mikes either..@ the end,You will have a stronger than stock driveshaft/U joints.. and its rebuildable.. Just make sure they tell you what the U joint replacement part is from ...example 74 Ford Bronco/C5 transmission etc etc..
