I didn't mean that the other side is necessarily a different.
I don't have the other side off and can't tell.

All I know is that busdepot shows one CV for 68-91.
And that it's for manual and automatic.
But the damn thing I have has fewer splines and won't take
the new CV.
Maybe I've got a shaft from a different VW?
Strange....

Though I haven't replaced the CVs on the axles of my '84 automatic, I
have
serviced them.

The left and right axles are of different lengths (which seems to be
common
knowledge) but all 4 CV joints are identical.
