Hi,
Replaced o/s driveshaft today, I’ve got it done but two questions:
1st: the new shaft did not go on easy at all, I’ve had to absolutely whack it to get it all the way onto the gearbox, has anyone else experienced this? I cleaned everything and new shaft was greased (Renault re-furb from ktec) - the old shaft had clearly been bashed on as well as marks on the shaft...
2nd - if I pull the shaft away from the box (holding near the box so no boots in between) without the holding plate in place there is about 2mm of movement, is this normal or do I need to be concerned?
Matt
