Finn,
Does your Ross gear box look like this?
You never know.

If so perhaps you could put a 1/2 AL plate in front
of the seal between part 3 and part 11 to take the 
thrust bearing load and make a new 1/2 inch longer shaft.
You would also need longer studs or bolts to hold
the whole thing together.
