370Z, cardan problems, need help.

[VladimirZ]

Hello to all.

Sorry for my english, it's way not perfect.

I'm from europe. Bought myself a 370z from usa . Cardan was broken, so i bought i used from uk model. After instalation it playes a little (moves forward and back). After unscrewing that side, that goes to differ i can move cardan forward into gearbox till it stops and then there is clearance between differ and cardan about 2.5-3 sm.
Hope, that you understood me.
Question is - is it ok, or i should make some intermediate piece about 2.5 sm ?

Hoping for your help guys !

Best wishes from Estonia.

For those with more knowledge about the 370 drive line, a Cardan is what we Americans call a U-joint.

Sorry Vladimir, I don't have access to a parts manual. I can't determine whether there is a different part used in Europe.
