I'm having trouble getting my drivers side axle into the tranny. Its a 97 gsx and just had a ppg dog box built with a front quiafe lsd and a center spool. For some reason it won't go into the tranny all the way. The intermediate shaft has no c clip so it should slide right in but stops about an inch short. I even separated the intermediate shaft from the axle to see if it would go in and still won't go in all the way.

What about the two bolt holes on the mounting bracket? If the bolt holes are lined up with the holes on the block, then the shaft is most likely in its position already, even if it looks like 1" short.
Here is how mine looks like.

The bolt holes are about 1" away. And my shaft is sticking out much more than yours

Your are at the first spot that the shaft gets stopped. Even it's without a c clip, it doesn't go in until the end smoothly. You have to push it in.
P.S I have the same setup.

So I figured it out. I also had the t case rebuilt and had the center billet piece added on and one of the bolt heads was a little too big and the half shaft was hitting the bolt.

Glad that you figured it out. That's interesting, you mean the bolt in the green circle?
