I've done this before a number of times but this time I'm stuck. I
have the old axle out and can't get the new axle in. When I slide the
axle in it stops just short of the bearing housing starting to fit
into the bearing mount on the engine. I took the axles out to compare
if I had gotten the wrong axle and they are identical then I ****ned a
flashlight into the differential and saw something that doesn't appear
right. When the differential was out on the bench when the transaxle
was being repaired it looked as if the two axles slide in and almost
touch though the driver's side has an internal clip. Well looking
into the differential I see a metal cylinder down into the
differential from above, falling between the ends of the two shafts.
It looks like it is the diameter about the dimension the axle
insertion is failing by. Did the AAMCO repair go wrong again? Could
they have left out a clip of some kind preventing that from dropping?
