It looks like your driveshaft may be too long. The slip yoke should not go all the way into the tailshaft on the transmission. It should stick out about 3/4 to 1 inch.

Re: 4L80E & TH400 Tech.

Google 4l80e rear seal and bushing issues. I believe there were two different bushings used over the years. Something like 40 or 50 thousands difference on the inside diameter.
