yes.

How do you know its rotated 3.46 times. Do I have to bust out trig to figure it out? I dont think you can tell the difference between 3.46 and 3.73.

You just have to count...

If you cant tell the difference between those two, then you arent paying attention. If you mark the driveshaft that 1/4 turn/90 degree difference is easy to spot.

You can't tell the difference between three and a half and three and 3/4?

Thanks Nate, that's exactly what I would have responded if you hadnt put it so nicely.
