I know the shaft assemblies interchange between the 82-84 4ks as I did a 
swap myself to a friend's car.  

According to the IPC catalog:
	all manual trans 4ks (non-q)   1980-1984 are the same
	they are also same left-right

	all manual trans 4ks (non-q)  1985-1987 are the same
	they are also the same left-right

The shafts for the auto trans are different lengths.  All of the manual 
trans parts (except diesel/quattro) will interchange left-right.

I think what you got was shafts for an auto trans, but I'm not sure.
