Once again. There are two types of OD units, the D-type (for
3-synchro trannies) and the LH type (for 4-synchro trannies). If you
are swapping out a 3-synchro tranny, you will need a _longer_
driveshaft to accommodate the OD. If you are swapping out a 4-synchro
tranny, the length of the regular and OD setups is exactly the same
and the same driveshaft will do nicely.
