I can't comment on the gearbox output flange and the diff extension flange being off centre, because I haven't been underneath my car for ages! ISTR having noticed they were not exactly in the middle of the car, but I might have imagined that. All I can say is that my drivetrain is fairly noisy, and I think what I'm hearing is the UJs compensating for the offset! I think the noises were being masked by all the cacophony from my front suspension, and having fixed that I can now hear the drivetrain noises more than before. Or maybe it's just things wearing out that makes it get louder!
As regards trimming those vertical ribs, jp, wouldn't that make the mounts themselves weaker and more likely to deform? I'd rather have tight gaps and not slim down those ribs if possible! I wonder how much the gearbox actually moves at the rubber bushings... ?
