Probably obtained from Euro Carparts, the seller had already installed the drive shafts before I bought my D3 6-speed.UK

Are you referring to the half-shaft that connects the gearbox to the wheels?
In my experience, the driveshaft is most often used to describe the front-mounted shaft that connects to the rear differential.

We refer to them as drive shafts in the UK.

Driving the front wheels are the half shafts.

There are multiple Euro stocks, and it is unclear which one is right. No one seems to be labelling the many that appear to be made for both boxes. I could make it easier if I knew the number of splines.
