Hi,

i'm having a strange issue with my S2. For some reason passenger side driveshaft keeps slipping out from gearbox.
While installing it, it goes in as far possible. Since i had to help it with rubber hammer, i wasn't able to hear the snap ring click.

Is it often that the snap ring is worn or just somehow not working anymore? Is there inside the gearbox something that can be broken, so the snap ring cannot be fixed?
I'm running Yellow KONI shocks with soft setting.. I was also thinking, perhaps the hard ride somehow makes it to pop out ..

BR,

Check that the seal is seated right in the gearbox , if it is it can lead to the drive shaft and clip not going home

 

This is from the time, when we initially checked if the inside is ok. Just by the look to outside surface, should the gasket be deeper ?

 

That looks fine, and tbh if you were twatting it with a mallet, it would have moved if it had needed to. Sounds like the snap ring is simply worn, they cost pennies to replace

 

If you was local i would have given you some new snap rings to try mate.
