Dear all,



Tonight I looked under the car. I don't know any more why I layed my hand on the shafts.

But I noticed that the shaft on the left side of the transmission could not move and..........

Just right yeah, The one on the right side of the transmission could move for 1 mm in and out of the differtial housing. I mean one millimeter moves the joint flange out the house and in the hous.

It could also wiglle a bit.



The question is: Normal? or will be the bearings have had there longest time?

There is no noise, whining or whatever coming from the differential.



If it is not normal could somebody tell me what kind of bearing is inside at the right side of the differential?

It is not covered in PET. Only the bearing on the left side has a part number.

The car is a 92 tiptronic.



Thanks in advance.



Ritchie.

When you say the "shaft moves"; do you mean the whole thing (cv joints and shaft) or just the shaft?

The joint flange including the shaft moves side ways and it wiggles.

Update,

The problem is solved by renewing the bearings from the differtential.

Also the bearings from the differential from a tiptronic do not last forever.....

The difference between the 6 speed and the tip is that the cleareance between ring and pinon is not inscripted in the ring according to the workshopmanual.
