A short shaft 2wd TH-400 uses the same length/spline count shaft as the early 205 version of the 400. The later ('85 and up) 205 version of the 400 uses a shorter output shaft. So if you are planning on using the short shaft 2wd version of the TH-400 and an early TH-400/205 combo then you're good to go. A TH-350/205 won't work without modifications.

I thought you had to trim the 2wd output by about 5/8''

Not if you're using it with an early style 400/205.
