I do not, but it is best to get it mocked up and measure your car, every car will be a little different depending on bushing materials that you use and mounts.

Hopefully this isn't a completely stupid question: does it matter which transmission the driveshaft is from? I'm seeing ones on ebay for manual, automatic smg, and dct.

They are different lengths of I remember correctly. If my memory is correct it doesn't matter which one you get off you plan on replacing the whole front half tube like I did. (As shown in the first post) there is another thread on the topic that says which one is the longer one if you don't want to replace the tube and only weld the flange on the existing tube. Sorry I'm not much help on this one, I looked in my message history but all I see is my payment and not the details on the item.

No problem! I'll just grab one and have it welded. Found a diff that I just ordered, getting some halfshafts locally. Now I just need the bushings/bolts/etc. If anyone has a good list of those, feel free to send it my way!
