Hi guys, need some advice from the pros. With the engine and transmission back in my S1, I went to install the driveshaft and it wouldn't go. Went in about 1/2" and stopped solid. Has new, correct seal, and splines are clean and lubed. Checked the snap ring, in place correctly. I tried the driveshaft on a spare tranny I had in spare parts, and the same thing. went in a little and stopped. Measured the outside surface with a micrometer and all ok, not damaged or out of round. It's the same driveshaft I removed from the car and the same transmission. Shouldn't it just slip right in? Could certainly use your help on this. Regards, Dave
