Hey Jeff can you explain how having the extra lengthwise movement at the gearbox helps if the first part of the tailshaft is fixed in place by the centre bearing?

The yoke on the end of the tail shaft that goes into the gearbox has 'movement' essentially just so you can fit it to the car. Once it is installed, it doesn't really move.

MFX Posted 25July, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 25July, 2021 Electric front windows on a small car like the Alfarrari are not that necessary as you can reach over and wind down the passenger window from the drivers side. The rear quarter windows on the other hand need you to stop and get out of the car to be able to reach them. Not any more.
