I just removed my drive shaft in order to replace the bad CV joint. In doing this I noticed that the inner joint grease was very runny, it ran out like very thick oil. My concern and question is this. Is it possible that the tranny oil could be mixing with my CV grease? My only other idea is that when I changed my left joints I bought a tube of grease from Pep Boys and squirted it into all my joints. However, the outer joint did not have the same runny grease,but that was the joint that was the boot that was leaking also. (hope that makes sense) I spoke with a guy who works at a VW parts counter and he said that on the Jettas and Rabbits there are cups which prevent the oil and grease from mixing. I looked and didn't see a cup, but I'm not really sure what I am looking for. Thanks for any responses. Oh yeh, I doubt that it matters, but it's an 81 Westy
