I can confirm my very late Series V fine spline transmission had fine
spline out the back too. But, 15 years ago, when the front universal joint
went, taking with it the yoke on the fine spline input shaft, I could not
find a replacement. Someone told me they could swap the main shaft to one
with course out the back. They did. But, as I drove down the street I had
to turn back because of a persistant whining sound. I drained the oil and
metal shavings to confirm my fear that the transmission was now toast.
Such is life.
