is there a procedure how to get the driver's side LSD axle on? because mine went in and clicked but it was sticking out too far and didn't seal to the tranny. thanx pics would be great too

 

Rubber mallet to tap it in, and if it still doesn't tap in all the way inspect/replace the little c-clip, technically the procedure is to replace the clip every time, but I've never had a problem........

 

it's brand new

 

Is the seal brand new or the retaining clip?

Assuming the seal is in properly, you should be able to push the drive axle in, although you said you heard the click.

 

Did you compare the old axle with the new?

 

In my experience, the LSD axle is rather difficult to install, but will go in properly with a little finesse. The two sets of splines must be engaged separately. After the first set is seated, continue to turn and gently push on the axle until you can feel the second set engage. Then use a mallet or something to finish seating the axle. As usual, it will be a satisfying clunk when it is seated all the way home.
