Oh OK, the one I removed was a one piece driveshaft, and yes I was always confused why a person would have to mark it.
But of course we're talking about a two piece here, so I now see why the rear should stay aligned with the front.
Thank you for clearing that up.

...um...that would explain the dark stripe and all the cars behind him flying off of I-20 West!

And maybe I didn't mention before that I did disassemble, had one or more suggest doing u-joints while it was out. (I had to remove center u-joint to get to the bolt for the yoke anyway).
But, please tell me more about what you mean regarding the transmission. I'm worried again (or more) now.

I believe Steeveedee was referring to the tranny fluid coming out the back upon acceleration without a plug back there.
Stationary is fine and may only leak a bit of what fluid is above the bottom of the rear yoke opening.
Probably wouldn't hurt to tie a plastic bag or something around that opening anyway, to prevent dirt or dusty junk from getting into your transmission.
