U joint sheered off. Because of lift?

[ingmire]

Just received my used rear drive shaft. It came from a yota 4x4. But it is different from the one one my 87 4x4? It's quite a bit shorter.

does manual transmission and auto transmission make a difference in the driveshaft?

3.random junk yard drive shadt

option #3 fits if I fully compress the yoke. But then there is 0 play. So I decided not to use it. At this point I may try to combine the slip yoke from option #1 to the shaft from option #3. Any folks here know if this is a bad idea?
