Why do you wan't to change power ? I think tail shaft for manual is longer.
If you do change put new bearings for front and rear universals also replace diff oil check for diff noise. If your in Melb try FTG Auto Salvage for parts and enquires. |

Auto shaft is 100 odd mm too long. Manual shaft is shorter than the Auto shaft.

Spot on not too sure on the exact difference but it is about the 100mm or or so.
