[Fot] Gearbox woes

Yes this is common, often caused by a driveshaft out of balance, 
especially if you feel a driveline vibration at certain speeds.

Well, my "woohoo" was premature.B  We broke a tailshaft housing on the 
GT6
gearbox in our Spitfire.B  This happened last year as well.B  In the 
past, I
remember tracing this to the nut on the output shaft working loose, but 
I'm
pretty sure that isn't the case here.B  I will get the driveshaft 
rebalanced
when I replace the housing.B  Has anyone else had this problem and can 
you
recommend a permanent fix?B  Has anyone tried to strengthen these 
housings or
add an intermediate mount or??



Thanks in advance.
