Getting the shaft in there right is important and it's an easy thing to 
overlook; I've done it myself.

The problem could be with the torque converter splines, the drive shaft 
splines, or the pump. I'll have to look at the Bentley myself to see what the 
pump drive plate is.

I may have a drive shaft somewhere. Other parts would probably have to be 
bought individually from a dealer. I have some AT gasket sets. They are 
incomplete, but they might still have everything you need in the way of 
gaskets.

I kind think it's the very last thing you get to when you tear one of these 
down. I've never done it (knocks on wood) and hope I never have to. You might 
want to consider looking for a good used AT instead.

Russ will know a lot more about this than I do.
