As long as it is coming from a LT1 or LS1 f-body, you can use it if you have a 5 speed or 700r4 trans. The TSB on the 4th gens used a 3rd gen 1LE driveshaft. Any one else, am I correct? Good luck.

I just bought one...

I just bout one out of a 2000 TA, and posted the same topic about 4 or 5 days ago. They said it would work....I believe they're correct. Look in The Summit Magazine and you will see an aluminum driveshaft that fits '82-up V8 camaros. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope that da#$ vibration stops once it's installed....
