I got a reman'd axle from o'reillys, as the old axle was in pieces. I ordered an axle for 2000 gsr, the motor I was told was in the car. Jdm motor, usdm axle, I read elsewhere doesn't matter. The axle refuses to seat completely. Can anyone tell me if the pictures look normal? Inside transmission, proper axle? Gap shown with snap ring removed and axle fully inserted. Any insight is appreciated.
