ok trans went.. i think the diff blew apart, the guts between both axles exploded. got a new trans and cant get the intermediate shaft to go back in. new trans is same year as old.

is the splines fine? sometimes it might need a little love tap from a hammer but for the most part, it should just pop right in. -
if you do give it a love tap with a hammer be careful you dont danage the splines or it will not go in at all
what shall not
kill you shall

Ive done everything from tap it wit my hand to using a 5 pound hammer for days. this thing will not go in. its like it got hot and it warped. is that a possiblity?Comment

at this point, id probably try a different intermediate shaft. you said the diff blew up?Comment

yea the diff blew at about 60 on a 3rd gear pull onto the interstate at WOT. i couldn't get the old shaft out wit the tranny still in the car so i dropped the trans and the shaft together and beat it out with a 5 pound hammer. i repleced the trans everything is back in, starter, clutch, hell the ive started the car up. ive beat as much as i can on the old shaft to get it in and i need about another half inch. and now i can't beat the old shaft out of the new trans. so ive given up with for 4 months now. im guessing the splined end of the shaft has warped for the diff blowing, and was wondering if there was any other options rather that dropping the trans back out and beating the old shaft back out and buying a new one out and starting all over from scratch.Comment

get a cheap set of dial calipers and measure the splined end and compare it to one at the junkyard.Comment
