I have a 6l80 2WD transmission in my Dakota.

I shreaded an aluminum driveshaft, which pulled the bushing out of the extension housing and tore the seal.

Is it as easy as unbolting the extension housing, and driving in a new bushing and seal?

Thanks.

This is what my extension housing looks like.



This is the bushing that came out with the yoke.




This is what is left of the driveshaft.




This is what it did to the yoke and exhaust. (110 mph).

The Bushing walked out, The Extension Housing is most likely trash....The new bushing will no longer be a press fit.

I have seen this happen with 6L80E's swapped into older/different make vehicles a few times now, Driveline vibrations/harmonics/angles were the cause.

Ok. Well at least the extension housing is pretty cheap on ebay, I will just by a replacement. Thanks.

bump.
leaky tailshaft housing seal here.
how did u get the extension housing off the transmission?
should it just slide off? i didnt want to put too much pressure trying to slide it off.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Brand new one from the dealer is cheap, 60 bucks or so last time I checked.

the propshaft should pull out along with the housing.

Where did you get the 6L80 from in the first place? I can't seem to find any in the junkyards around where I live (East Tennessee area). Thought about ordering from these guys, https://reman-transmission.com/trans...des/?code=6L80. Do you all have any recommendations? Need to have one within the next few weeks
