Intermediate Shaft Problem

[djsSHO]

Hello all,

Have a 94 MTX with an intermediate shaft that keeps sliding out of the trans about 1/4 inch and the proceeds to drop fluid all over my driveway. When I changed the clutch I had attempted to epoxy the bearing back into the bracket that bolts to the back of the engine block. That however did not last long. I have another used shaft, but I have a small oil leak from either the rear valve cover or the cam seals which is causing oil to drop onto the bearing and bracket. I don't want to waste another intermediate shaft that will probably suffer the same fate. Does anyone know of a way to anchor the bearing into the bracket that will be oil resistant until I can get around to rip off the valve cover and get to some seals?

Thanks,

I'd just fix the leak first. But that's just me.

Nothing to add regarding anchoring the bearing.

Best of luck to you.
