AWD axle question

[JoshPA]

Thanks for reading. Question about the driver side front axle on a 1G - I know it doesn't pop in like the passenger side, but should there be a noticeable gap visible or should it be pretty much "green" / trans without much of a gap? It is not leaking, but the "gap" area shows traces of being wet. I would say the gap is about 1/4 inch.

Thanks in advance for any help.

What "gap" are you talking about? What does "green/trans" mean?
Are you talking about where the intermediate shaft goes into the trans?

 

[JoshPA]

Yes. The way that it bolts up I wouldn't think you could "mess it up" but it has been almost 10 years since I had a trans out of this thing. Here is a picture:

Thanks for the reply. I am going to take it out and re-seat it.

yeah, definetly not seated. Im looking at an assembled axle/intermediate shaft on my garage floor right now and there isnt near the gap there is on yours.

That isnt' the transmission you are looking at. That axle is not seated correctly.
