The propeller shaft, which is the inner shaft, is different lengths; also, the manual version has 12MM bolts to hold the input and output shafts in place and the automatic version uses 10MM bolts.

The first pic, the 12551711 number is the part number. I think its the older style manual torque tube, because it was superseded by 12564457. Yes, it will fit. But, is the older style with the smaller coupler bolt. Which should not be an issue unless you drag race a lot. I'd give it a good once over to make sure the couplers and bearing are good.

all the places around here say they can't balance it. needs a special adapter (like bmw's) that they don't have. and for the price i'm getting it, its less than balancing my existing DS.

Just go here and buy yourself a new driveshaft, like I did:

I had them modify it for me with 12MM bolt holes.
