So I need to replace my front right side axle cause everything I turn right, it make a loud clicking noise. I'm guessing the CV boot is ripped or something? Anyways getting a new axle.

Now my question would an axle for a GT fit both automatic and manual? Or is there different type for each one?
As far as I know, there is different axle for the ST & GT, but not sure about auto & manual. Any help would be great. Thinking of getting the axle from ebay, thats why.

Yes there should be 8 different sets of axles for US 6gcs.
7afe manual without ABS
7afe manual with ABS
7afe automatic without ABS
7afe automatic with ABS
5sfe manual without ABS
5sfe manual with ABS
5sfe automatic without ABS
5sfe automatic with ABS

To my knowledge, the 7afe and 5sfe axles are not interchangable. I also believe the automatic and manual transmission axles are different due to either length or spline count. Finally the ABS equipped axles(they have a ring with notches near the threaded end) may be fully compatable with non-ABS cars. I have ABS 5sfe manual axles in my non-ABS 5sfe manual. Of course if you put a non-ABS axle into an ABS equipped vehicle the ABS light will come on and the system wont function correctly.

I got my remanufactured cv-axles at autozone for $60 a piece and it took them two days to order them. One thing you may want to count on is that the other axle will probably start to fail once you replace the side that's acting up now. They wear out pretty evenly just like tires or brakes but this is no reason to replace both(when only 1 is bad) unless its cheaper or more convienient for you based upon your circumstances.

Hope that helps answer your question
