>From the back face of the gearbox/OD flange to the front face of the axle
flange. The propshaft itself has a sliding joint at the front so will
expand and contract between two extremes, and whilst *any* of the
prop-shafts may be able to expand or contract to fit between any of the
combinations of the flanges, with an incorrect prop-shaft there may not be
enough compression space left on the one hand, or enough expansion space on
the other.
If you have a prop-shaft and don't know which one it is, then personally I
don't know how to tell them apart, unless I had all three on the ground and
compared their lengths fully compressed.
Which now makes me wonder if the dimensions quoted *are* quoted for fully
compressed prop-shafts and therefore easy to determine ... I'll be
interested to hear.
I have a spare V8 prop-shaft but unfortunately because there was only ever
one (which was different to all the 4-cylinder prop-shafts) the Parts
catalogue doesn't give a dimension for that like it does for the others, so
I can't check it!
