I think they would have had to switch more than just the driveshaft because the lower pinion diameters are different on the two different style driveshafts….
I guess it is also possible that someone did just swap the driveshafts without realizing the dimensions were different, which might explain why the pinion is worn…..It will be easy to test my theory by simply installing the driveshaft down through the lower gearcase bushing to see if there is excessive clearance…
