Drive flange seals were too wide? You mean the plugs that press into the center to seal the splines from the CV joints? I haven't seen that issue before. What seals did you use?

Oh, those. I remember there being two different thicknesses offered. The deep ones can be driven in until it bottoms on the outer race of the bearing. I know that's what my transmission used. Not sure if the bores in the side plates were different between the two types of seals or not. I can see the deep ones being to thick if the side plate for the shallow seals has a step in it...but I haven't seen any that have a step in them, so I don't know.

Boost junky. Bet it felt good to get the project back out even though you only have 8lbs of boost more than the "average" folk. Lol |
