Driveline lengths Coupe, vert, turbo

Ok so I just got the new clutch master installed in my 91 and stoked to get it on the road, however when I put it in gear it just sounded like the teeth of the driveline were not engaged and grinding.
I have a NA coupe with a NA coupe transmission and the driveline was out of a vert. Also diffy is NA. I looked under the car and it does look as if the driveline is a bit to short going into the tailshaft of the tranny. This particular drive line does not have a coller on it and that is why it might look that way.
I removed the drive line and stood it up to 2 different turbo drivelines and they look to be the same length, however I do not have a NA coupe Drive line to compare to.
I know that the trans and Driveline lengths are slightly different from turbo to na.
So I guess I just need to know if they are shorter than by how much, and if the verts are shorter?
Thanks, Robert.

Lengths are all the same (Minus Auto. The auto driveshaft is 1" shorter)

Yes, all manual N/A driveshafts from FCs are identical in length.
