Need for drive shaft problem of AE86

Hi, any one,
I had exchanged a LSD diff into my oz spec AE86, but my mechanic found that the input shaft of the new diff is longer than the original one, this make the drive shaft had to be put 6mm toward the gear box (but the car still run ok). Should such situation will cause any damage? should I exhange a drive shaft from another model?
Help really appreciated.

yes,the wrong tailshaft can cause you problems. when you go over bumps,you can damage the gearbox,as well as the shaft itself.
you're putting excessive loads on everything involved.
the length difference is more like 15mm btw,not 6.
either get the rear half of the tailshaft shortened by a specialist,or find an appropriate shaft from another toyota.
I've been told the T18 rear section is suitable.
