reinstalling driveshaft; need to lubricate?
I pulled out my factory aluminum driveshaft to have it balanced for high speeds and new U-Joints installed. Before I install it, I want to make sure I can install the transmission end dry or should I lubricate it first? I've been told 'both'. Nitro-Nicky

i always lube the slip yoke with tranny fluid.
its also a good time to put a new seal in the tranny. they're super cheap.

If it is a new bushing, yoke, or seal, ATF on it.
If it is all the old stuff you're fine.

Thanks guys. Everything was new four years ago. Finally able to start putting things back together. Thank God I always put the bolts back in their respective holes or I'd REALLY be in a: 'WTF?' right now...!
