You need to measure from the output shaft (end of housing itself) to the flat flange on the rearend.

I bolted a stock length steel DS from my TH400 to my 10 bolt and it fit fine.I think you have to have a shorter DS if you have a 9inch.Thats what Im trying to figure out now.

what did you do replace the front yoke since the 400 and 4l60 are diffrent splines? that would be one diffrence, diffrent yokes are diffrent lengths. my driveshaft for my th400 with a 9 inch is 44 center to center of the U joint on the shaft, thats with a strange HD yoke.

A Moser 9 inch is designed to use the same length driveshaft as the 10 bolt. Bob
