T5 drive shafts different from T5M

[Clemens]

Since my 96R will receive a M56 this year O am sourcing parts. Some german sources say that the manual axles are different than the AT axles, some US sources say Incan use AT axles with the M56.

Can anyone with Vida verify if the AT axles can be used with the M56 or not? My donor car is a 93 NA, and the NA axles are said to handle less torque.

Are there
a) NA and Turbo driveshafts or
b) Auto and manual driveshafts or
c) NA manual, NA AT, Turbo manual and Turbo AT driveshafts?

I don't mind spending 200 Euro on driveshafts out of a Turbo M56 car if they really are different, but if all Turbo driveshafts really are the same I can just reuse the ones i already have in my 96R.

I only know a bit on this one, as I have only owned autotragics.

a) Definitely. Turbos have a larger outer CV. Fit is completely interchangeable however.
b) Yes, but also interchangeable.
c) I think not.
