How did you get a 6-bolt input flange with the diff to fit into the subframe of your ti? I tried it with an e30 diff and the flange would not clear the subframe, it hit the top of the opening and was pinched there.

OP: Bottom line, measure the distance you need, and use it as a sanity check against anything you are thinking you need. So far 75% of the information I've seen on the web regarding driveshafts is INCORRECT. I've tried 4 different shafts on my setup, and so far no joy. Really damned frustrating.

Measure measure measure, and make sure to take into account the differences in 6 bolt and 4 bolt systems. The 6 bolt shaft has the compression at the back and the middle portions are bolted together and do not compress. The 4 bolt flange has the compression in the middle, so you can't just weld two ends together without thinking about it.

At this rate I'm just going to have a custom shaft made and say f-it!
