That's interesting. Though I don't drive an automatic, I've read a lot on the sutomatics, and there has been a lot of discussion about them and I have never heard of different numbers of splines right shaft vs left shaft. The lengths are different but this is new one to me.

Maybe someone out there really knows.

John Rodgers 88 GL Driver
