I'm not sure who posted this originally, but I've got a couple of questions.
Maybe I'm being dense this morning but: where does this piece attach ? the
transmission tailpiece? The driveshaft? In front of the rear oil seal on
the transmission ? Where in relationship to the front Ujoint ? In front of
it or behind ? Does this piece turn with the drive line? The only thing I
can think of in that area is the exhaust hanger which attaches to the rear
tranny mount ???
Thanks for the clarification !! Maybe the grey fog will clear before noon.
