It appears to me that I'm losing massive amounts of tranny fluid through the output shaft gasket, where it meets the driveshaft. Does anyone know where to find the replacement seal? I haven't been able to find it online. I have a redneck engineering idea to pin the rubber sleeve down tighter on the driveshaft, but I'd rather get a new seal.Would Ihave to break the tranny open to install a new gasket?
Thanks guys...

autozone should have one, all you gotta do is unbolt the driveshaft from the rear end, pull the shaft out of the tranny, and R&R the seal. be sure to install the driveshaft in the same spot it came out of the rear end yoke, otherwise it could vibrate.

I installed the aluminum driveshaft, so I shouldn't have any balance issues-
Thanks for the info mattdel, I'm glad it's that easy to put in.
Did you have to replace your gasket as well? Did that fix leaking tranny fluid issues?
Autozone has it huh... that's nice
Remember how much it was? 20 bucks or so?

should be only about 5 bucks. you have to have some kind of prybar to get it out though, it can be a nightmare.
