axle question
Hi,
I recently changed my clutch and also replaced the driver side axle when putting it all back I I noticed that the axle has a gap of about a 1/4 inch between the seal in the transmittion an the axle metal cup that goes over the seal. I dont remember it was like that before so I wanted to know if that was normal or if there is something wrong maybe the new axle is alittle to long because I tried bang it in there with a metal bar and a piece of wood but still nothing.
any input will be greatly appreciated.
PS. any local knowledgeable people that are willing to help let me know I have other little issues to fix. im in La Puente CA
thanks

If it's clicked in solidly, you're done.
That metal shield is just a dust shield. It should have some clearance and not touch anything. I don't recall if it's 1/4" exactly, but as long as the axle is snapped in and won't slide out you've got it right.
