I think I've got this figured. My M05 is a "bitsa" car which I built using lots of NIP M03 spares I had lying around and combining them with scavenged new M05-specific parts I got cheap from my LHS that was parting kits out for spares. This means that my outdrives are the splined type and it's these that keep failing. I think I need to upgrade to the keyed type outdrives and the 51008 gearset. Anybody have a part # for the outdrives?
