Thanks, Joe. I have the driveshaft, got it when I bought the entire
drivetrain. But, eventually, I will be able to use it when the entire
drivetrain is transplanted into the Spit.
I wanted to exchange the drive shafts 'cause I'm still trying to eliminate
the noise. The current driveshaft is the 'strap' type and maybe something is
rattling around inside.
