Intermediate axle shaft Sign In

1994 Buick regal,3.8 frontwheel drive with overdrive.Drivers side(left) Trying to replace seal, half shaft severely stuck. Upon removal-welding plate and slide assembly to inner joint housing, the intermediate shaft came out with joint housing(no snap ring in groove). Did something break internally (spider assembly) Shaft will no longer stay inside transmission which I know will lead to leaking. Can I put another ring on the end of the inner shaft to lock in again or will it require additional parts? Pushing 300,000miles-wifes baby.

Your going to have to remove the final drive cover and assembly to get the broken ring out and inspect the side gear.

Wouldn't that be the passenger side?

He's looking for the driver's side.

True, but in his case the whole output shaft came out with the driver's side CV axle attached. There is a ring that holds the other end of the output shaft to the final drive side gear. The output shaft runs through the middle of the transmission.
