Fitment questions
Will a drive shaft from a 2010 Mazda 6 fit a 2013 Mazda 6?
The Mazda 6 second generation (GH) ran from 2008 to 2012, while the third generation (GJ) started in 2013, so a 2010 and a 2013 are from entirely different platforms with different subframes and driveline geometry. A drive shaft from a GH-generation car will not cross over to a GJ-generation car. Always confirm the exact generation and engine code with the breaker before ordering.
Does the drive shaft from a 2015 Mazda 6 fit a 2017 Mazda 6?
Both years fall within the third-generation GJ Mazda 6, which ran from 2013 onwards, but there was a facelift in 2015 that brought some under-bonnet and suspension revisions. For drive shafts specifically, the engine code matters more than the facelift year, so supply your engine code to the breaker and ask them to confirm against your registration before they pull the part.
Does the Mazda 6 SE drive shaft fit the Sport or Sport Nav trim?
Trim level — whether SE, SE-L, Sport, Sport Nav, or any other badge — has no effect on drive shaft fitment; the shaft follows the engine code, gearbox type, and whether the car is front-wheel drive. You may find cosmetic differences between stripped-out cars from different trim levels, but the mechanical driveline components are shared across the range for matching engines. Confirm engine code and gearbox type with the breaker rather than relying on trim name alone.
Does it matter whether I need the NS or OS drive shaft on my Mazda 6?
Yes, nearside (NS, left, driver's side on a UK car) and offside (OS, right, passenger's side) drive shafts are different lengths and are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. The inboard and outboard CV joint sizes can also differ between the two sides depending on the engine and gearbox combination. Give the breaker your registration or engine code alongside the side required to make sure they pull the correct shaft.
Will a petrol Mazda 6 drive shaft fit a diesel Mazda 6 of the same year?
Petrol and diesel variants of the Mazda 6 can use different engine and gearbox combinations that affect the drive shaft specification, so fuel type is a key fitment factor and you should not assume they interchange. The engine code printed on your V5 or available via a VIN check is the most reliable way to match the shaft correctly. Always supply that code to the breaker so they can confirm compatibility against their stock.
Can I use a drive shaft from an automatic Mazda 6 on a manual Mazda 6?
Gearbox type directly affects the drive shaft inboard joint and flange specification, so automatic and manual Mazda 6 drive shafts are generally not interchangeable even when the engine code matches. Always tell the breaker whether your car is manual or automatic, alongside the engine code, to ensure the correct shaft is supplied. Never assume fitment based on engine code alone where the gearbox differs.
