Thanks for the tips. Yes, I did this with my previous car (BMW 635) over a decade ago - it was $450 or so with shipping to have the driveshaft rebuilt and I R&Rd it. Maybe I could find something...

That is a good point that the issue could be in the center mount ring or in the U joint.

That being said, I fully believe the transmission shop of my diff having an excessive / weird wearing...

Maybe next year. I will maybe put another 500 miles on it if that this year, so I'm going to bet things will be OK for at least that much.

OK -- so they are interchangable as in the shop should be able to fit the version with snap-ring retained bearings on the car with no further issues? The mechanic (seems to be pretty knowledgeable)...

@vwnate I'm in New York City. Happy to pay you shipping and handling if you find a 3.46, as well as a fee for your effort (you name it). If it's a 3.58 though (unlikely for a 300D) I might as well...

That would be a godsend. Must be 300D though as I believe the 240 and others have a 3.92 diff.

But maybe the other one Frank linked to just now will work (not the old one). It appears to have the...

Ended up not fitting but I only lost 100 bucks.

I had a transmission shop take it apart and the pinion has pitting on it which has presumably caused this issue. So weird.

Can you explain why I would want to put one of these magnets in the diff?

Seems like good advice on the driveshaft assembly. Thanks!

The shop rubbed the gunk off the number and it wasn't a 3.46. But I don't remember what it was.
