Default C clip

I have had this happen to me on the rear centre shaft of my TM4 once, it's the same design as all of the driveshafts. I have found a way round this and it's very simple and almost free. If once assembled and as you say the clip twisted through 90 degrees to the pin, you then add a small 10mm long piece of heat shrink tube. This seems to keep everything in line and also stops dirt and dust getting into the pin/clip.
I have done this on all my Team C driveshafts on 2WD and 4WD and have never had the problem again.
Hope this helps.
