Chances are you grabbed the front shaft from the manual and tried to use it in the rear of a auto. At least thats what I got from what you wrote. The front shaft from a manual will always be shorter because manual trannies are shorter then a auto tranny. You would need a shaft from an auto. The shaft from an auto is like 2 inches longer I believe. You can also get a front shaft from a CJ and have it cut down to fit in the rear if you cant afford a tom woods like me! lol. I got mine out of a cj7, not sure if one out of a cj5 would need to be cut down or not..
