LS1 Driveshaft acting funny...
Ok, so i just installed it in teh car, behind a 700R4 ofcourse...and in the front, it sits about 2 fingers wide from teh end of the tranny, what the deal, my old shaft sat about a finger a little more at best...but this is like alsot a inch and a half, maybe two...whats the deal, will it go away when i drive the car around or what...i donno, i dont feel safe with that thing not all teh way in the tranny....

When I installed mine, I had that initial thought of "wow, it looks like it isn't quite long enough." Then I realized that I still had the rear end off of the ground (hanging, with the car supported by the frame). If that is your situation, realize like I did that the driveshaft will go in quite a ways once the car is lowered back down.. I'm about 5-600 miles since I put mine in.. No problems..
