NOTE: Only applies to cars with 4T65AWD transmissions.

Lubricate the mating surface of the drive shaft. Use oil P/N 116 1745-3 (1 liter container).

Press the drive shaft into the transmission. Check that the snap ring is in the groove in the transmission.

Pull the constant velocity joint to check that the drive shaft is secure.

NOTE: Do not pull the drive shaft as the axial pinions cannot support large loads.
