Default Tailhousing Yoke Bushing

Anyone replace the bushing that's on the inside of the tailhousing behind the seal where the yoke rides?

I'm getting this squeaking noise that at driveshaft speed. I replaced the u-joints last year and greased them again this year and that's the only thing I can think of that's doing it, plus the yoke has some play in the housing which is casuing higher speed vibrations.

Anyone replace it before? I might as well do it while I have the trans out to put my new engine in, yet wanted to know what it entails.

Yeah, I'd figured you simply unbolt the tailhousing and replace the bushing.

honestly i took a complete guess there lol. I'm not really sure because i have never done it. But like u say if you un-bolt it the back part of the case should come off and u should be able to get to it.

it will be easier with the trans removed.
you need to take out a roll pin that holds the shifter mechanism in, to take it off the shaft.
then you can unbolt the shaft and take off the tailhousing.
