I forgot to measure it but the SVO catalog says it's 10.1" long. The short model is the one that is closest to the C4 in overall length. When purchasing your transmission, be aware that there are two tailshaft lengths used on AOD's. Because of the Christmas holiday, getting all the right pieces was harder than usual, but we managed.
