A few measurements and things look promising. Aa makes a spud shaft that is female 27 spline and male 31 spline. Looks like I'll make an adapter to fit a c6 tcase adapter to the 4L60. Which should give me just enough separation to fit the Aa shaft. And by retaining the c6 adapter I don't have to modify the 205, the shifters, or my trans crossmember. And the tcase can stay in its current spot meaning no driveshaft changes. As long as the accessories fit in the chassis it should be a pretty straight forward swap.

Retaining the stock c6 adapter means I do not have to change my crossmember, trans mount, or change my 205 twin stick setup. As they all use the c6 adapter for mounting and positioning. The adapter pictured is just a spare one I picked up after I broke my other one at mustache run a couple years ago. The adapter currently in the buggy, which has will get reused, is a cast iron not aluminum adapter.

Also by keeping the adapter and tcase unmodified, and keeping tcase exactly in the same position, I don't have to Shorten or lengthen driveshafts.
