Best idea I've come up with is to have a shop grind off the GT6 shaft you installed and then cut and bore out another GT6 shaft that I'll give them. Without your original drawings, I don't think I have any other choice - bummer.
Luckily I have two GT6 gear boxes in stock, so I'll still have a fall-back no matter what happens. I won't get to the project for another month or so; I'll get some more news out then
Thanks for checking-up on me!
Ciao - Jim

: Jim- Did you try to get to get the
: first one that came out too long apart
: yet? I've been wondering if you had any
: luck with it.

: Too bad you are located so far away,
: I'd be glad to help you do the work in

: All good stuff. Thanks guys. I'm sure
: the rest will fall into place when I
: actually get to bust the case open.
: Right now I'm just looking at diagrams.
: Doesn't sound too bad though. Finding
: a machinist to do the cutting,
: grinding, boring and interference fit
: on the hybrid shaft will be the
: challenge.

: It has been about 20 years since I
: replaced parts in our GT6 gearbox. I
: remember doing exactly as Carter said
: regarding a temporary short shaft to
: keep the needle bearings in place. I
: was not smart enough to look for
: something at the hardware store and
: instead had the machinist at work make
: me a rod of the correct diameter. The
: pipe is a much easier and better
: solution.
