No welding is required. The GT6 input needs to be cut to the same length as=
the Spit. Then the splines need to be machined back to match the length of=
the Spit as well and you are good to go. It's really quite simple. Don't f=
orget to use my steel/carbon synchro's for the most pleasant shifting exper=
ience. ;-)

It is my understanding that you can have the GT6 input shaft either machine=
d to fit or you can cut the input shafts from a GT6 and a Spitfire and weld=
the Spitfire on the GT6 transmission.
