TR2/3/3A Overdrive Drive Shaft

I wondered if anyone can tell me if the overdrive driveshaft length is different than the non-overdrive shaft? My OD shaft that came on the car is in very bad shape, and I will junk it...assuming the non-overdrive shaft from Marv's car is the same. I have the parts in several locations, so it would be a big help if someone knows, to save me driving all around town to get the parts in one place.

Oh...the OD is the original A type, so no odd mix-match of parts.

Yup, what he said. The OD is exactly the same length as the non-OD extension; by design.
