Just for comparison sake, according to RealOEM the dirve shaft that I am using is
01 DRIVE SHAFT ASSY FIVE SPEED GEARBOX L=1512MM 26111227445

16mm is around 5/8 of an inch (you are not really talking all that much of a difference in length). There is room for adjustment at the splined section just forward of the carrier bearing. Mine went in just fine (with a little adjustment). The drive shaft that I'm using is 1512 MM and there was room for that adjustment with my set-up.
