alright i understand that the tranmission driveshaft connection is blind. i could only assume the flywheel clutch is too. what im wondering is why you even need to mark the driveshat at all. Is there any sort of balancing issues. i know these are stupid questions but id like to eliminate any doubt about how everything should be mounted and reconnected.
