Abstract
A transmission includes an input shaft having an internal bore at one shaft end and a main shaft having an extension formed at one shaft end that is received within the internal bore. The internal bore is defined by an inner peripheral surface and the extension is defined by an outer peripheral surface that is spaced apart from the inner peripheral surface. A resilient member is positioned within the internal bore and reacts between the inner and the outer peripheral surfaces to center the main shaft and the input shaft relative to each other.
