When I pulled the drive shaft from my 200D there was atleast 1" of spline at the joint with the rear drive shaft. Someone has mentioned that they found that the std auto tranny shaft was just about 1" to short for the 5spd but was going to use it anyways. I just wanted to point out its probably within MB spec since my 200D had more than 1".

Also my 300D euro has a special drive shaft balancer, anyone know where to get their hands on one other than MBUSA?
