Severe vibration from rear of car

That seems like a pretty bad bandaid to me... there would still be more stress then necessary because of how far the uni would be hanging out.
I called them today and got nothing but an answering machine.

Anyone know if the Auto v's Manual shafts are different lengths?
(just seems like a BIG error)
Or maybe W58 v's 154?

I was thinking the same thing. It's imposible for it to be for a W58, since I think there are less teeth on the spline (not sure thats correct terminology). Auto is possible I suppose, IDK how many teeth there are on the output shaft of them though.
It does seem kind of rediculous for it to be so short. The sticker on it says 5 speed turbo supra on it (or something to that effect) but I guess its possible they mis-labeled.
EDIT: I just did like 30 seconds of research and so far I've come up with the auto shaft being shorter but also possible different number of teeth.

Yeah but there would be nothing stopping little Johnny in dispatch grabbing an Auto shaft and a 154 Slip Yoke and sending it out 
I was thinking that as well. Check out the picture of the driveshafts on here ... looks like its pretty damn close to what I was looking at.
I should also mention that I do believe the slack went away at the yoke, it did move, just way less and I think it was just the entire transmission/motor rocking a bit.

Welp, as long as they don't make me pay shipping to fix their mistake... I'll be happy to send it back and get it fixed. The stock DS just feels... heavy, lol, in comparison to the Al one.
Well, so far they seem pretty helpful, I have to get a hard copy of the invoice from SupraSport though for them to ship me out a new DS.

I haven't read the whole thread so my info may be useless. (imagine that)
I know for a fact that the manual ds is longer. I just did my swap and I had to use the manual drive shaft cause the transmission is shorter than the auto. I'm sure you've already figured it out, but just thought I would throw in my two cents worth in for free...............lol and GL
Preliminary thoughts are that someone there popped the wrong yoke on an auto shaft and it got stickered for manual. I don't know if they are going to tell me what happened though.
Well, after sending back my DS they were very quiet about it; not telling me why it happened besides "someone gave them the wrong measurement" when they admitted that they WERE MAKING THEM TOO SHORT. My mom said that my new shaft arrived at the house yesterday, I havn't been there to measure it or anything to see just how much longer it is, but maybe I will go up this weekend and get it in.
I can say that although a bit of a hassle on the phone (seeming lack of employees) once I sent it out I was quite suprised to see it come back to be so soon. Good on them for replacing it.
