I determined the correct length last night and this morning, the driveshaft went to Thrash Driveline (Thrash Drive Shaft Inc 4838 West Ave; San Antonio, TX 78213 Phone: (210) 342-6622) in San Antonio. I should have it back in a week or so.

Meanwhile, I need to modify the cross-member, modify and adjust the shift linkages, install the pedals and hook up the hydraulics. By the time the shaft is done, it should be ready to roll.

One more thing...
I have made a real effort to keep this conversion reversible...that is, if I decide that manual tranny turbos aren't all they're cracked-up to be, I can go back to where I came from.

Thus, the driveshaft modification is being done by shortening the front piece of the driveline (from the splines forward) from the donor 240D. That way, if I need to go back to the auto, all I need to do is reinstall the front piece of the auto's driveshaft.
