When I saw 2-3" of play, my reaction was the same as Daren's; but then
I thought, what the hell do I know about an MGB. Maybe the driveshaft
flanges are 50' in diameter. Anyway, glad to see my reaction wasn't
out in left field.
One more suggestion: mark both flanges before disconnecting
the shaft. 2-3" could mean plus or minus a bolt hole or two. The bolts
should go through the same holes when they are re-installed to maintain
balance.
