Why?

[DR SCHNITZEL]

Just reading a guide on how to do a clutch shange, below is one step i didnt do.
 
"Paint a mark where the driveshaft connects to the diff, so that you can reinstall it in the right orientation. I have no idea why this matters, "

Hmm lol I don\'t know either lol seems odd, unless its due to how the driveshaft has been balanced and how it might have worn when in use, a bit like brake pads, but im sure if the driveshaft is in good condition im sure its not an issue.

Only time this could become a factor is if the drive shaft has a master spline so the shaft would only slide in one way, then if you hadn\'t marked before disassembly it would be a pain to find the correct way it fitted back in.

The only other way is if you had a double prop where it would be essential to have the U/J\'s correctly in line or the vibration can kill the joints, diff and gear box possibly,

Hope this helps
