Saturday's Project: Transmission - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WOoohooo, Finaly had extra time this weekend so I put the new transmission (thanks Mark25) in and the new one peice drive shaft. Transmission has peformance clutch packs, TCI streetfighter valve body and a TCI Breakaway stall. Also added a deep sump aluminum pan (TCI)

Man I'm so glad to get rid of that dam carrier bearing.... it was on its way out AGAIN. It's the 4th one in 6 years, not bad eh?

Where did you get your one-piece drive shaft and will it work with a stock tranny? How much did you pay, I too am sick of replacing carrier bearings....my foots really heavy......hehe

I've replaced two carrier bearings in the past year.

It was built by a place in Topeka but just about any driveline company can do this. The only thing is im using a Long tail transmission so it cuts down on the overall length of the shaft.
Its 65" center to center with a long tail. With this setup I need to trim the crossmember just a hair. With a short tail trans I'm sure you'll need to install a loop in the crossmember because the shaft will hang much lower.
It cost roughly 200.00 w/ujoints and yokes.
