where did you order the driveshaft from? is it modified with the longer splines to fully engage the socket?

interestingly I believe this problem presents itself in different ways. My old Xer that my kid is driving now required the replacement around 175k but the only symptom was an audible clink when shifting into reverse.

some folks strip it out completely and are stopped dead in their tracks.

i'm gonna have to do this one eventually on the NEW (2005 lol!) Xer.
