Reaper614 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Anyone here able to tell me what I need? Thought my passenger cv shaft was bad. Found out my intermediate shaft bearing was gone. Shaft pulls in and out(not all the way out)of what I'm assuming is the transaxle. So my question is, is there a gasket or something I need to replace in the transaxle or does the intermediate shaft bearing hold it all in place? As for the shaft I'm just going to get Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Yes the carrier bearing "locks" the intermediate shaft to the trans. Also by your pic., that the seal is shot from the shaft "flopping" around with the carrier bearing gone. Looks like you've got a nice little "project" to do! 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper614 Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Alright, well I'm definitely getting a new intermediate shaft w/carrier bearing. Cv shaft seems good so if I can separate it I'll use that. As for that seal, is that a transaxle seal(anyone know the proper name)? Is it a Pain to swap? And as for filling it up, does it share fluid with the transmission, or is it its own system? Edited June 10, 2021 by Reaper614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 There is a collapsing snap ring for the CV joint end of the intermediate shaft that some have a problem overcoming to "pop" the CV off. I've found a sharp blow with a "dead blow" hammer to the joint's "tulip cup end will separate the shafts pretty well. NOT positive that the transfer case end has one. The seal is only as difficult as your lack of skills to do, for those that have done this work a lot it's not hard to do. Without looking it up, I can't answer the fluid type portion of your query.

2late4u Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 the fluid is your transfluid, the cv should just pop out i used a long pry bar to use to pop it off just dont damage the face of the seal and there should be just none to minala amount of trans fluid to leak out.be careful replacing the new unit in and not scrape the seal as it is being done,i havent ever replaced one in a journey but did several in my caravan,,check out youtube for videos on how to do it,, never had to replace the seal myself as it was always the cv joint going bad...good luck 5rebel9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper614 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Alright, well I appreciate y'all's help and it's definitely good to hear about the fluid! As for an update I got the new half shaft on there(seal made it through!), reused the cv shaft and it was good for a day. Felt some grab and some vibration so took another look and the caliper was seized up. Replaced the caliper and about 30min later had a nice wobble going about 50mph and stayed with me till I stopped,it would come and go after that and not just at higher speeds. Thinking maybe cv shaft didn't make the transfer? What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 hard to tell from here, i always replace all the parts associated with a repair job only makes sense good luck on your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 My, a multiple problem RF corner. My bet on wobble is the inner CV joint bad, due to how long it was driven with the bad carrier bearing (non existent)putting undo pressures to the joints inner workings. 2late4u, John/Horace and Locosiete 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
