    What is a typical driveshaft length, joint to joint center, for say a 115" wheelbase PM these days.

    Doing some measuring and thinking about moving the engine/trans back, but I don't want to get the shaft "too" short and run into angularity issues.

    All on paper at this point. Ideas appreciated.

    Thx.

    The shortest I have run is around 37”. It was a carbon shaft, put about 20 runs on it and pulled it back out to go another direction with in the transmission which would necessitate a longer shaft.

    TOL normally one aligns the front crankshaft bolt to the rear end of the transmission to the pinion to ring gear mesh point. There should never be anglelarity problem
