[TR] How to Re-align splines in OD to mate with transmission shaft?

[aribert neumann]

I was able to easily align the splines once I backed off the nuts a bit
(only about 3/16 of an inch gap).  Once I had the gap I just wiggled my
"spline" tool to get alignment and then lifted the OD and lowered it over
the mainshaft (trans was sitting on the bellhousing with the mainshaft
pointing straight up.    I used an artist's brush to try to get a coating
of permatex gasket sealer into the gap (there is no gasket in this joint).
