Well as I said, the shaft DID fit... But fitting the half shaft bolts actually shoved the shaft into the gearbox and put pressure on shit inside that shouldn't have pressure against it which I wasn't happy with, so I put grease on both offending areas and continued to grind away until no grease was transferred to the shaft when it was fully fitted.
So nothing was snagging or forcing anything if you get me.

Has he got the phase 2 supplement of the FSM? the main one is just phase 1.
yeah that's exactly the problem I had, though it sounds like yours went a little farther in than mine, as when the driveshaft hit the shaft through the middle of the diff the halfshaft bracket was about 8mm from lining up with it's holes. but the fact remains the gti o/s shaft needs modified for the 32v box or it will cause problems

so what's the difference then? is mine and Joe's (and craigs iirc) halfshaft brackets in better condition so when its bolted to the block it pushes the shaft hard against the diff bar? where theres might be looser maskjng the problem, or do you have any other theories? as if the shaft is pushing against that bar then there will be problems at some point, and unless there are different gti o/s shafts then the toothed portion of the shaft must be the same for all of us?

I don't really wanna argue this out in this thread - as I said, it DID fit.. but it WAS exerting pressure on shit inside the box.
Yes people have fitted it straight up.
and yes people have modded the shaft which makes it sit perfectly in the box.
Pick your own approach.
