Hi Patrick,
that's funny, I had absolutely no problem with the diff end!
Even if your propshaft was short enough, you can't fix the rubber doughnut with the flat flange that Marlin have specified. The bolt heads fixing the gearbox flange to the doughnut will foul the flat flange on the end of the Marlin propshaft. They have obviosly never fitted a doughnut with this design.
BTW, i'd check the clearance of the top of this flange with the gear change bush as mine was very close. It's the first bush that connects to the gearchange lever where it exists the gearbox and quite difficult to see.
I wish I got my original prop shaft shortened now, which was one option I considered.
Peter
