Dealing with one problem (seized-up steering) in the =E2=80=9871 B/GT =
has, as usual, revealed others that might as well be dealt with while =
the car is up on jack stands....  We now have the cross-member out to =
renew the transmission rubber mounts (reduced to a squashed, gooey mass) =
and are wondering if the DPO who replaced the original rear axle with an =
earlier banjo-type did not install a matching drive shaft but kept the =
original.  The drive shaft can just barely be jammed in place.  The Moss =
cat. gives lengths of the various drive shafts =E2=80=93 from where to =
where does one measure?  (We assume that the two pieces have to be =
shoved together for this measurement.)

Also, can anyone give us the over-all length of the overdrive and =
non-overdrive gearboxes?

Thanks in advance,
