i have driven a dyno off the back of a FWD front wheel drive trans. The PTO power take off came out through the cover with a seal as described, But i coupled a drive shaft straight to it, so no side load. It was a Dodge Daytona trans. with a prototype 3-valve V8 so nothing else was the same.
Back to your idea, you might want toextend the shaft a inch further and put a bearing on the end. But if it already has two bearings on the shaft then you are OK.
What RPM's are possible with the motor? Does an electric motor need all that reduction? I would think motor's would make torque a zero Rpm so no need for gears.
I always try to think, how to couple direct to a wheel. Or Placing a two shafted motor in the drive shaft. No belt loss. Just a little bit of regen would add up, wouldn't it? Just brainstorming. Could you shorten the drive an inch and put a cog pulley in between the trans and constant velocity CV joint?
