No, it needs to click in all the way. The transmission seal only works with axles that are pushed all the way in. Anything less, and your transmission will likely leak, and let in dirt.

So do i just need to hammer it on?
The other side clicked on very easy.

I had to tap mine in with a deadblow to an end of the CV joint. Don't want to damage the internals. Timing side is the long shaft right? if so that is the one I had to tap in, the other was easy.

Took a few good whacks, but once you hear the lock ring click, its in.

Was on a ST trannie, but I assume same concept.

Oil sanwich plate install for oil pressure gauge and other.

my mechanic was preocupied by the oil press sensor when he put it in the sandwich plate...he said that when turning the wheel might hit it...just a heads up

Thanks for warning. i'll check that

That fu***** driveshaft wont go in.
Been hammering it all day.

Any way you could pull it out and take a pick of what the end looks like? May be damaged or something. Probably worth another opinion.

Ok. i'll take a pick tomorrow, now i need to go to sleep.

it's in! just take it off and put it back. snap in pretty easy. Don't know what was wrong earlier.
Maybe sunday i'll fire it up.

Ok. It's time to fire it up Hope everything is okay.

No it wont start. starter just klicks.

I hammered my starter and it starts to work

sounds like a new starter is in order...

Yes i think so. but it works now. Engine runs great!!!!!!
