You need to change the extension housing and the output shaft. In other words, you may want to rebuild your A4LD while your in there.

I am unclear whether the 2WD used a different output shaft from the 4WD.. I'm inclined to think they were the same... and the only difference was the 2wd had a different housing with a seal and the 4WD had one that mated to the transfer case. I'll check on that.

please let em know i know the manual you have to change the tail shaft on a manual but do you have to on an auto? like i said it was just rebuilt so i dont want to go back through it.

thanks
