What?

I don't know what you mean by "dissy timing" and "gilmore belt for timing marks" so I'm going to suggest you check the timing (and separation between leading and trailing) I guess.

You're wondering the spline count of the front yoke of the driveshaft for an S3 transmission? Try consolidating in your other thread about the snapped driveshaft, will be easier to follow there.
