It's nowhere near as complicated as the previous poster implied (for both the prop-shaft and anything else). Although some people do opt for a complete gearbox, OD and prop-shaft swap others don't. O

Hi Paul,, your second line is interesting, that would lead you to say that then the dimensions given for sizes don't mean anything since we can not figure out which one goes where.?? paul -- Paul Osb

I went poking around in the index of Machinery's Handbook #26 to see if there might be some information bearing on this question of length. While I did not find anything specific to our MG questions,

Most interesting. I wonder why the Italians and Germans use flex disks (guibos) instead of u-joints - or in addition to u-joints? It is also a classic repair for older BMWs to replace the center driv

Hmmm, this is getting confusing. I've spoken to one manufacturer who says it is measured prop-shaft flange to prop-shaft flange fully compressed. Then another says to take the prop-shaft off and meas
