the simple fact you have done that mileage on the same shaft must prove its the fit thats the problem and not the design! |

My original factory-fitted shaft has now done 250k miles. This is also with two different LT230s, suggesting that (as I have suggested before) any alignment issues are likely to be with the extension housing and not either gearbox.
It'll probably fail now I've said that though! |

... that simple fact would have been proven, if the Ashcroft shafts failed since their only improvement is lubrification. Misalignement rules them out. Only time will tell |

Do you think if you use the lof shaft to replace a broken shaft and it is as you say a alignment issue ..will it move the problem up or down the drive train? |

Yes, quite possibly.
Sorry, not the answer you were looking for. Who knows, I think it depends on many factors including the fit of the LOF shaft on the gearbox tailshaft splines and the flexibility of the LOF adaptor shaft, as well as how much engineering analysis went into the product. It may even eliminate the problem, only time will tell. |
