Joe (et al)
Sometime last year a kind lister posted the actual lengths of the various
drive shafts... I'm searching to see if I can find it before I have to sign
off.
The short answer to the original question is: No.
I did get lucky 10 years ago when my D-type o/d gave up the ghost and the
only replacement available was a single rail non-o/d trans. Yup, same
length. Newbies luck.
Cheers,
Jim
