Probably a stupid question but whats the name of the interanally splined bit that the gearbox shaft slots into?

Adam

Clutch plate if you mean the part attached to the flywheel

Ahh. That will be the "Internal splined bit on the end of the prop shaft"

the female splined thingy attached to the front prop uj !?!

Some call it a nose.

If its the nose of the prop then we'd call it the "yoke."

I got the wrong end of the gear box. I meant to say the engine end.

The gearbox input shaft (external splines), carries/slides into the clutch friction plate (internally splined). The shinny nose of this shaft recesses into the spigot bearing on/in the crank shaft.
Hope this helps.

Yep its yer input shaft.

And the bit on the other end that the prop slides on is the output shaft.

I think I have it now!!, thanks all - its a spigot bearing I need then.

Spigot bearing isn't splined!
