Well, apparently the mid year change was the reason for the wrong part.
Whilst under the vehicle I noticed the driveshaft center bearing carrier was absolutely gone.
I checked my service manual and set out to replace it. What a total PIA!! I gave up after abour an hour of fighting with the ujoints(clip type).
I ended up taking the driveshaft to my local Tuffy and one the guys did the carrier replacement for me. You have to press the old one off and the new on.
I gave him $20 and a box of donut holes for taking time out of his day for me. The cool thing was he let me help and showed me some cool tricks to getting stuck ujoints apart. Re installed the driveshaft and it's done.
Now, I can wash the 911 and take it out for a drive.
