Default HELP!! trans issue

HELP!! I'm trying to put the coupler on the drive shaft but it's not lining up to put both bolts in. I'm able to get one in but the other is about a mm off so the bolt won't go it. Is the coupler only able to go on one way or are the bolts different lengths along the drive shaft so it only goes on one way?

HELP!!! Thanks

Default fluid change

Alright So i got it in!..than forgot about the short shifter...back on the jack it went. I was able to drive down the street and it shifted fine...I put redline mt90 in it but was later told by my mechanic that works on these all day to put just like a valvoline 75w90 because it eats syncros. I have looked at all the other threads and thought about shockproof but is that only for the non-lsd? should I consider using the additive with the mt-90 if I don't get any chatter?

Thanks again!

I'm running MT-90 and it's working well so far. I ran it in my old Audi that had an 016 gearbox as well, no problems.
