- The little cable in the angle drive can snap, esp. if there is no lubrication down there. Take it out, if you are lucky you can just cut a section off your old cable to suit. Tunnel has to come off.

- Strange. Unless they used a different gearset in the O/D the rebuilds shouldn't have caused this. I believe the angle drive uses a short wound cable similar to a short piece of speedo cable. If it's
