We tried that for years, and eventually figured out that the rubber connection was actually acting as a filter, and was causing controls problems. We were kind of shocked.
You can also make a male end to your shaft rather than female, and use a shaft coupler. There are flexible shaft couplers. Unfortunately, that's a bit more pricy of a solution.
