Will this driveshaft work? Hey guys I'm looking at a used carbon driveshaft for a pretty good price. It was originally made for a 4l80 to a 9" MWC rear. I know the t56,4l60 and 4l80 all use the same driveshaft length so as long as they go to a stock 10 bolt rear. I'm awaiting the measurements from the seller but I wanted opinions here also.
The driveshaft is most likely 1" longer than stock as thats what MWC specs for their 9" rears but has a t56 front yoke on it. Would that be ok to use in my car with the t56 and 10 bolt or would 1" cause binding. Could the yoke be shortened to fit or would it not have enough spline engagement?

Besides the length, make sure you have a u-joint which will join whatever shaft yoke is glued into the rear of that ds (1310/1350??) with your 10 bolt's stock 1344/GM Saginaw 3R PINION yoke!!
It would be one of the combination u joints, depending on which yoke is on the back end of that shaft.
