I converted my 06 base Vibe to a 6 speed and used the 5 peed axles. I now have a seep on the rh axle at the trans. New 5 speed shaft and output seal. It turns out the 6 speed axle is @ 9/16" longer. The problem is that the 6 speed has a bearing and stub shaft while the 5 speed doesn't. Does anyone have a part number for a usable axle shaft that doesn't have a bearing? Here are the specs for a 6 speed shaft
