Thanks again for you reply. The driveshafts bearings on n/s of gearbox are touching the back of the cup and on the o/s of gearbox at he other end of the intermediate shaft and bearing, the bearings are nearly at the edge. Just had a chat with the the guy who built it so far and found out that he had the engine sent to RTR to make the mounts fit the engine. Sounds like they put it in offset to me? Only talking 1-2 cms. So I’m in the mindset of having the drive shafts made to the right length in both sides. This will then cure the problem. Sounds like the simplest way to fix this problem? What do you think?

It would be really good to see pictures of the thing

To be honest I cannot see the problem, not saying there is not a problem, just I cant see it.
So you feel the engine needs to move to one side? Which way does it need to go? On the gearbox support you certainly should be able to move it in either direction.
On the engine side it is a little more tricky, one solution might be to cut off the mount on the chassis and replace it with one the correct size, yes it will ruin the powder coat but might be the easier solution in the long run and white is an easy colour to repair.
You might be able to make an adaptor plate.
Are there different mounts available?
Alternatively you might be able to have a new mount body block made and move the fittings to the new mount.
However will moving the engine solve the problem? I would think so but obviously I cant be sure.
On another point, why have you got two adjuster sleeves on one of the wishbones? They use one and a lock nut.

Hi if this helps , I have a supercharged rocket running 300 hp with a Rs MTX gear box using standard 2.0 shafts and have absolutely no problems. So I take it they the standard shafts have the correct splines on the gearbox end? In have read they have a spiral mark on the shaft? is that correct?

Did you ever figure out what was going on here? I have something that may be similar - the short shaft has barely any axial play, while the long shaft has plenty. I'm moving the transaxle mount back a bit, but that doesn't look like it will fix the problem - I fee like if I hit a bump in the back, that shaft will bottom and break itself...
