Problems.
#1
Can't see anything wrong here, but trans/diff is locked
So, drivetrain will have to come out again so I can dismantle this & figure out WTF I did wrong here.
I didn't take many pics back when I did the LSD install in May. Don't know what I put togther wrong, but it is definitely not right.
This is one of the only dismantle pics I took, none of the assembly that would show the shift forks, etc
#2
Right axle is too short by 2.5".
Thankfully I didn't throw out the K24 intermediate axle. I guess the early transaxle has a different casing offset, but I honestly don't see how, as the MWB mount is right there next to it.
With that in place, the axle fits OK, joint sits about 1/2 way in the cup
At full drop of my coilovers there is still play in the shaft cup, so the axle is not binding
CV is not touching strut tube, just looks like it.
Good news on another front, the slave bleeder is readily accessible with my larger opening
Had to elongate the torque mount plate holes to prevent it pushing back on the motor, which was removing what little clearance the slave had off the firewall. I must have welded the plate too high up I guess.
I think I'll leave the drivetrain in & finish the rear swaybar, wiring etc., before I drop it again to fix the transaxle issue.
I'm so frustrated with myself for not checking the diff operation BEFORE putting it all back together, and for then installing it all without still checking it. I had to step away from it & so I cleaned up the garage & mowed the yard for the last time this year.
