Was there different input shafts in the manual aluminium boxes? If just one, would a Borgeson part nr 012564 work best? Splines 11/16-36x3/4. Can my my own adapter in a smal Lathe in my garage, recently bought a mill to. Thanks for reading!

Should the shaft be 11/16 or 3/4 diameter on the outside of the splines? According to the Firmfeel adapter, it should be a 3/4-36 splines?

That spline change on the Mopar shafts was to keep everything in alignment. The generic u joint has all the splines cut. Gene
