So I've always had a slight leak from my output shaft on my t56 setup in my 72 camaro and a new one which is worse

I originally had a 93-97 fbody t56 in the car and came with a driveshaft when I got it. And always slightly leaked.. changed the seal a few times thinking that was it. Never went away but never looked more into it..

Well now I went with a ls3 and 98-02 fbody t56 and kept the same driveshaft I had thinking it be fine.

Now I got a massive leak from the rear of the trans on this setup..

Buddy told me that maybe the driveshaft is to long or maybe the yoke is wrong since it's most likely a shortened th350 shaft..

I don't want to damage the trans..

Anyone been through this? Or know what length or yoke I need?

Thank you

You mentioned that you replaced the seals multiple times. Has the bushing been replaced as well?

I replaced them on the last trans I had. Haven't on this one.

Sorry to confuse.. Which bushing?

Thank you
