      it will say what the transmission on it somewhere, but you might not be able to see it because it is in the car

            This is more than likely the problem. I believe I remember hearing the getrag 245 is shorter but I don't remember where I heard that.

            OP, get a hold of a getrag 260. They are readily available and hell you could see the 245 and buy the 260
