Question for TH200R4 users - driveshaft length..
I wonder what length driveshaft I'll have to use with the 200R4?? Is it the same length as a TH350 driveshaft? If yes, what year C3's came with a TH350?

I used the same driveshaft when I replaced my TH400. The only thing I had to change wa the front universal. I had to change it to a off-set style because the yoke is smaller then the driveshaft. It was a standard shelf item at every parts store.
