It si a reman. so could the length of the splines be different or Trans be giving out and just to loose to snap in or? Not sure just guessin now Any help is appreciated. Might just be better to rebuild tranny. any thoughts? Thanx

We just did the drivers side CV axle in my '96 ragtop. We couldn't get it to snap in at first. We used a heavy hammer (10 pounds) to lightly tap, but to no avail. So we got serious and used a sledgehammer. Wacked it a couple of times, and it clicked right in! (It's not like he just went crazy or anything; my buddy just got a little more leverage and power into the taps.) I was a little nervous about using so much force, but it's been absolutely fine the last three weeks! So... Maybe you need to "convince" it a little bit more?
