Axle spline counts?

Hey can anyone give me the spline counts of the axles? I really just need the outside spline (part of the axle that goes in the hub) but the inside spline counts would be nice to know anyway

please please help if you can

he means the spline count that goes into the hub where the axle nuts bolts on too

regardless if its a auto, 5 spd, 4cly f or g series trans or v6 trans the hub spline is the same..

why well i have a former 92 mazda mx-3 1.8 V6 that now resides a boosted 1.6 sohc with a modified mazda g-series trans and axles..

now the spline counts that inserts into the trans itself are all different from auto, 5 spd, 4cly f or g series trans or v6 trans

there was a thread about transmission interchange on here. can't find it now tho.
from memory of that thread,

F series has 20 spline
G series has 22 spline

on rockauto.com i found this out

mx3 1.6
left side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 24
right side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 26 & 2 blank

Protege LX
left side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 26
right side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 24 & 2 blank

Protege 4wd
left side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 24
right side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 26 & 2 blank

does anyone know another place that tells spline counts? and what is the 2 blank? is that the metal clip that goes around the axle and kind of clicks it into place? if it says 2 blank there are two clips and no mention means only one clip?

Looks like you found the right numbers. The ones I posted above are clutch spline count. haha
