Rick, Fit your gearbox into the vehicle. Slide the sleeve on the tailshaft into the back box as far as it will go, then pull back 25mm. This is the running position of the tailshaft. Accurately (To 1mm) measure the distance from the centre of the front universal joint to the front face of the flange on the diff. Accurately (To 1mm) measure the distance of the **diff flange** on the **tailshaft** to the rear universal centre. Subtract the second measurement from the first. This distance is the uni centre to uni centre length your tailshaft needs to be. Ensure that you tell the tailshaft company how the length was measured!!!
