TH400 Short Tailshaft Length = 28-1/4"

ok anyone know the length of the driveshaft.
Comparison #'s from a stock 4L60E driveshaft to what is needed would be best.

Thats funny....the short tailshaft housing is 4 inches and the medium is 9 3/4 inches. Thats a 5 3/4 inch difference.
The cases are all the same length.

You better take a more accurate measurment. The overall length of the short one (4" tailhousing) is 28 3/8 inches.
The medium one (9 3/4" tail) is over 33 inches.

Not 100% true. There were 375's in the 70's, they were marked with 375 cast into the tail housing and they had a th350 size yoke. And fewer clutches.

In the late 80's they brought that configuration back only they were no longer called 375's, they were regular th400's with a long tailhousing and th350 size yoke.
I've seen 3L80HD's with the small yoke, long tailhousing.
