Yes, I believe the right side is shorter by about 26mm. Unfortunately the
Bentley isn't much help here as it only gives a length for the manual trans
axles.( 405.3mm or 15.955inches installed in the car length) and ( 415.5mm or
16.357inches total over all length). Also the Haynes book doesn't even give
any lengths at all.

Just the overal length of the shaft is about 26mm shorter. If you got both
shafts from Martin, you could measure them to determine which is shoerter and
install it on the right side. I have 2 AT cars here, but never had both axles
off at the same time (for greasing) as I didn't want to mix sides. I hope
this helps.
