Crap to Cream Part 6 MGB to MX5 gearbox conversion, gearstick issues. 

In the UK we only call them a prop shaft really. The drive shafts are front wheel drive or 4wd independent suspension from the diff to the hubs over here. The diff to us is also just the bit that splits the drive from the prop where as you Aussies call the whole beam axle assembly the diff including half shafts it would seem? Guards are also wings aswell which threw me the first time I heard it. Great video!

Oh yeah… I remember that particular bolt! Sorry your short shifter didn’t work out. It seemed like a great idea to me because cutting and threading that shifter was a bit of effort. I think I took off more length than you did by a bit.
