I have searched have not found any info on Driveshaft specs. I need to know how long it is from tip-to-tip & # of Splines that are on the front slip yoke. I would like this info from those that have a spare Auto DS in hand. Also those that have a spare Auto tranny if you would count the # of splines that are on the tail shaft.

I got a Alum. DS and it seams to short. I would like to dbl check the length befor I tear into it in my Apt. complex parking lot. The reason I ask for the spline counts is because I'm stumped with that. I have been told from a very reliable source that the Auto DS is 21 spline & the R154 is 23. What confuses me is that my Auto tranny tail shaft is 23 spline. I counted it 4 times & sure enough it has 23 splines. THe Alum. driveshaft I have is 23 spline so to me its good there but I still ? the length & Jeff ?'s my spline count. :aigo: Help me out.

Dont worry when i did my d/s the measurements that my friend took for me were slightly off in the lenghth department. We measured a 48 1/2inches, but we were told it supposed to be 45 1/2 , somehow we were 3 inches off. So i just took their word for it that the measurments they had were correct, and once it got down to the install process everything fit perfectly :)

Gl and your gonna love that aluminum d/s

Installed, running great & perfect fit.

What got me worried was the Miss Information about the Length & Spline count for the Turbo Autos DS. This had me beliving that I got the wrong DS. So to correct the previous info for folks in the future The spline count IS 23 and NOT 21. Not sure where this miss info came from unless that is the spline count for a N/A Auto but I don't see thats likely. The Spline count on the tail shaft is 23, The spline count on the DS slip Yoke is 23.

Very interesting?!?! I have never ran into this situation in all the driveshafts we have ever made. I wonder if it was some kind of special option?
