i just cut down a C body housing to the 52 5/8 lengths
the housing started life with a 741 but it blew up.
so i installed a 742 case.
i have the c body axles as well. I resplined them myself at work and cut one shaft to 27 11/16 (measured from the outside of the flange to the tip of the splines) and the other one i left long. I went to make a trial fit to be sure i did it right (first time)
i installed both axles and tightened them down and the axle i cut down to 27 11/16 has endplay of about .250. It is sloppy.
did i mess this up already? I dont think the short axle even bottoms out in the case.
