tail shaft leaking?
IM no transmission guy ive installed my own transmissions for my camaro and my firebird both the same but thats about it..
my problem is i installed a tci streetfighter th350 into a 87 firebird and im goin through about a quart of tranny fluid a day.. only while driving and its coming out of the tail shaft and burning on my exhaust.. is there a seal i can replace to stop this or will i need a new tailshaft ??? anyone know?

Re: tail shaft leaking?
Is it coming out where the tailshaft meets the trans, or where the slip yoke on the DS goes into the end of the tailshaft?

There should be a replacable seal there. Take the driveshaft out. Pull the seal out and tap the new on in place and reinstall the driveshaft.
