sounds like you may have 2 different types of driveshaft
are both near side and off side shafts identical, apart from one having a shallower circlip recess?
or does the one with the shallower recess have a chamfered end?
if you hold both side by side, are the circlip recess' the same distance from the end of the splined shaft?
or does one of the shafts have splines, then a taper, then more splines, with the clip recess being in the larger diameter set of splines?
if you can, a picture of both would help.
