splits lengthwise along the top and bottom, while the AX-15 splits
open around its circumference. The input shaft is 1 1/8" 10 spline and
the output shaft is 21 spline.

A
driver's side shot of a BA 10/5 for comparison. Notice how the BA
10/5 doesn't have the regular ribbing on the driver's side
compared to the AX-5. The passenger side of the BA 10/5 does have
regular ribbing. The main case of the BA 10/5 is made of two
pieces bolted together, where as the AX-5 main case is one solid
piece of cast aluminum.
