How's this coupler look?

[30 Commander]

Before I re-install the engine, can someone who knows couplers, tell me how this one looks? Hasn't given me any problems in the last 20 years.

Ayuh,.... It looks to be nearly New,... Grease 'er up, 'n run it...

What drive do you have? The splines look good, but, the splines are not the failure point. The rubber is. What does the rubber look like? Is it swelled where it is bonded to the metal parts?

If the part is 20 years old and in question, cheaper and easier to change it now.

What drives?....20 year old Alpha 1's converting to new Alpha Gen 2's.......

Had a look at the rubber surrounding the coupler spline hubs....no distortions or swelling, the rubber tight around the metal...looks like new.

I think I'm good to go.....thanks for the tips !
