Tail Shaft Wobble??

Greetings from Canada

83 Cadillac Fleetwood,700r4 Trans.

Been chasing an elusive vibration,have replaced tires,u-joints,and just had the drive-shaft balanced.

Was bolting the shaft back on and noticed the tailshaft really moved around a lot.

Is this normal?

Thanks-Hoonbash

Aluminum tail housing bolts to the main case.....should be solid

the output shaft will wiggle a bit. The yoke and bushing in the tail housing provide alignment .

IF the yoke is sloppy- loose in the tail housing.... it may need a bushing replacement as Jmark mentions.

I didn't know they could wobble around,I'm ignorant when it comes to tranny's,and I screwed up on identifying it as a 700r4,it's a 2004R,next time I'm gonna get my facts straight before I start blabberin'

The trans shop fixed it in car,it needed a rear case bushing and seal,cost me $176.00.

Rides smoooooth :pimp:

Thanks Gents & Until next time
