Is it possible that the engine swap made the halfshaft too short. I guess I am going to take it out and see if it is true. There was a lot of aluminum in the case oil when I drained it. If you jumped the car would that trash the halfshaft? When I did the clutch jump job on it the shaft was already hanging out. I plan to disengage it from the hub and see if it will seat in the transmission. I am open for any ideas. Thanks, BranZ
