Vehicle(s): 2004 AMG Posts: 464 | Re: Transmission rebuild The intermediate shaft doesn't need to be clocked any longer as it consist of a CV joint on each end, with no slip joint like earlier shafts. Chances are otiswesty, when the shaft ends where compressed for removal, it displaced the old waxy grease, leaving the balls high and dry. A new shaft is easiest but if you had the time, a rebuild with new grease would've saved you some money. Best of luck | ||

We got the new drive shaft in, noticed the engine mounts were separated, so those got replaced as well. The car drives smooth and straight now, turns out the transmission is fine and maybe the cardan shaft just didn't like going out and in again. Ready for a haul down to Baja or maybe the Bay area for a new roof. (camptop.jpg) Attachments ---------------- camptop.jpg (210KB - 1 downloads) | ||
