Ahhhh....

i was just hoping to get rid of some of the slop! there seems to be a decent about of wind-up before all the seperate transmission parts are torqued enough for the car to launch. I put it down to the number of pins used to keep the gears and adaptors on the shafts. (I can only assume this gets worse with wear)

Using either the one-piece spur adaptor-shaft or the alu bevel gear shafts would eliminate some pins... and using the alu drive cups should eliminate any further slop from an ill-fitting plastic centre drive cup.
The only "free" pin would then be the spur adaptor... but a single pin versus 5 is a good reduction.

N.B my outdrives are in good condition, as are my cvd's and diffs so hopeuflly i've got all bases covered!

Wow.. those centre cups wear fast! You sure that's normal! kinda scary... my stock ones although not really true to the centre of the shaft show jack all wear and tear. Must be that they can flex and absorb some force?
