Play in my Left Side Flange Shaft

 

I didn't notice any before I pulled it out. I wish I had checked for that. I just hit the bolts with my impact to get them off, so I wasn't paying that much attention. It has a spring clip on it like the axle going into the outboard CV joint. Bentley shows using a slide hammer but I just used two cv bolts screwed through to push off of the differential housing. Very little effort. You're supposed to replace the circlip, which I did not, but I don't think that has anything to do with the play.

Sorry, this is a 2003 EV MV with the 01P auto trans.

I pulled my driver's side CV axle and replaced the inner CV boot. I also pulled the Flange Shaft out and replaced the oil seal because I have been getting a fair amount of oil leakage from it. This EV has 354k miles on it and the trans is original as far as I know. I bought it with 215k on it and no records, just good regular maintenance.

When I reinstalled the axle, I noticed that the flange had quite a bit of lateral play when I was torquing the bolts. I think I've found one reason for the leak. The old seal was pretty hard and the new one is nice and pliable.?

My question is what is the job here?? Total trans rebuild?? It's probably due. How long can I drive it?

Thanks,
