Make sure the rear axle is shimmed correctly and the yoke is straight with the drive-shaft.
I just got a front driveshaft from e-bay $50 delivered. It bolted right up as a rear driveshaft.
A manual trans is more narrow and requires a longer shaft. Also the 231 is narrower and takes a longer shaft than the 242.

Mine is seeping where the yoke goes into the sye . Just be careful when pulling the yoke out and putting it back in. If it leaks a little no biggie. The seal is only like 4 bucks and you don't need to.open the sue back up to get to it. Just have to pull the driveshaft and the yoke off..do a seal puller and.pop the new seal in
