Thanks!
I also disliked the drive shaft into the gearbox thing too. And a tip for
challenged people like myself. If you have the driveshaft started into the
rear of the gearbox, but it's hung up a bit, avoid the temptation to reach
in with your hand and adjust things. I did this, even though I should have
know better, and with no-one else around and no good prybar around, it was
somewhat awkward with my wrist pinned in there. :)
( A clotheshanger wire just wasn't strong enough. )
