Excessive transmission noise in car.

[Graham Honnor]

Thanks Garry,

This is how mine is fitted, A is aligned to B, also the short length is to the rear, long part to the gearbox.
Is that ok or does it not matter which way round the shaft is fitted?

I don't doubt for one minute that this is correct, but would it be possible for someone to explain to me why the long part of the shaft has to be this way round please. 
I haven't heard this before and wondered what the reasoning is. Would it be to do with the amount that the axle goes up and down compared to the gearbox?
Many thanks for your time.
