PST 3.5 12 bolt driveshaft with 10 bolt I'm getting some conflicting information regarding this DS. I am referring to the PST 3.5 aluminum DS. I want to run this shaft (12 bolt shaft) in my 10 bolt. According to one sponsor I should be able to use it if I change the pinion u joint to a NAPA 240 0447. Then If I ever get a 12 bolt I can just change back to the 1350 pinion u joint. Then I see that some say the NAPA U joint does not fit the 10 bolt. Then PST is saying that they don't think I will be able to use it on the 10 bolt.
1) Is anyone running this DS with a 10 bolt and the conversion u joint?
2) What conversion u joint(part#/brand) are you using?
3) What is the lenght of the DS
2002 F body A4

I have the PST 3.5 bolted up to a 10 bolt currently. I'm using the Precision #447 1344 to 1350 Conversion U-joint and everything went together easily. Not sure on the DS length, whatever EPP sells for 10/12 bolt 4th gen is what I have.

I am going through another dealer, (90 days same as cash) but I am dealing directly with Chet a PST and for some reason he can't figure out what I'm talking about. They list a 3.5 DS for F body with either a 12 or 9 bolt. I told them I wanted the 12 bolt shaft and they keep trying to make me one using the X measurement for my 10 bolt using the 1350s which the X measurement may or may not be the same as the 10 bolt. The x measurement is from the end of the tailshaft housing where the seal is to the middle of the u joint in the pinion yoke. Mine measurement is 44 1/2. +- 1/8.
