My axle popped out after a race I shoved it back in thinking everything was ok. The next morning I found a tranny leak. So I thought maybe the axle popping out damaged the axle seal on the tranny. Before ripping everything apart, I noticed the axle wasn't all the way in. Well that's why it's leaking, duh... So i tried getting the axle all the way in and won't go in anymore. Goes in then stops about 1/8th of an inch from being completely in. I decided to pull out the axle and see what's wrong. When I pulled the axle out, I found the end of the axle rounded off...
I got the new axle and it does the same thing. Goes in till there's about 1/8th of an inch left. I fucked with this damn axle for an hour trying to get it in. It won't completely go in.
So should I just keep trying to force it in there? Or did the splined spider gears in the trans get rounded off just like the axle? Any other ideas that could be wrong?
This is a perfect reason to take the trans out, get it fully rebuilt, and throw an LSD in it or just swap over to an ITR trans but I don't have the money for that right now I could afford just a rebuild but i'd hate to do just that. I'm the type of person who wants to get other thing done while I got the chance. If I take the trans out i'm gonna also want to throw on a light flywheel, new clutch, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, ect...
