Hello,
I am new to this forum, did a little searching, but did not find anything on this particular issue. My 2002 P5 made it to 268k miles when it finally met its demise. I pulled the motor and trans(Its a manual trans by the way), rebuilt the motor and installed a new clutch. finally got it all put back together and running. I went to reinstall the CV axles and they would not seat all the way in. So I pulled them back out and start to investigate. The following picture shows what I discovered. One of the dif gears had fallen out of place. I was able to push it back up but the spline/luck ring was loose and I was not able to reinstall the cv axle. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to transmissions. what is your helpful input on this? Teach me o great one.
