What car do you have? Are you looking for a propshaft for your own car?

Not sure what more you need.
What is the PN and would it be compatible with other propshafts from other b5 cars such as automatic cars?
In simpler words I need to replace my propshaft and need to find the correct propshaft?

No, Auto driveshafts are different. 6 speed manual drive shafts are also different. The B5 5 speed manual driveshafts are all interchangeable. Some models have carbon drive shafts, others have steel ones. Both interchange.

I replaced the bearing with the offering from 034 and it's wonderful. I had heard some reports on it causing an imbalance but I marked the orientation of the shaft so that I could be very confident that the splines went back together as they came apart. It was an involving job but pretty simple from a standard tools point of view. I could have pulled the old bearing off with a puller but instead cut through most of the old one and ripped it off and hammer/pressed the new one on.
The most dificult part of the job was man handling the exhaust back into posistion. I'm very satisfied to not pay someone $800 for that job instead I paid $100 for the part and my time (4 hours).
