Oops :-)
It should have read : AFAIK the o/d mainshaft is a bit SHORTER than
the non-o/d shaft. So, just a wild guess, but it would seem possible to cut
the non-o/d shaft to the appropriate length and cut new splines. Am I
missing something?
Kind regards.

Hi Chris:
How do you propose to cut a shorter shaft to a longer length? :^)

Hi Mike
AFAIK the o/d transmission from a 2000, 2500 and 2.5 PI will fit a TR6
engine without modification. Might be something to consider and FWIW I do
have one from a 2.5 PI that I'll trade for a GT6 or Vitesse 2 liter Mk1 o/d
transmission.
Transmission experts: Why can't one modify a non-o/d mainshaft into an o/d
mainshaft? AFAIK the o/d mainshaft is a bit longer than the non-o/d shahaft.
So, just a wild guess, but it would seem possible to cut the shaft to the
appropriate length and cut new splines. Am I missing something?
