cracked 4l60 tailshaft while installing poly mount Am i the only ******* on here thats ever cracked the rear tail shaft on there camaro while changing out the trans mount?
I swear to god ,,,this APS build has been fighting me ever since Be Cool sent me a wrong rad in the right LS1 box last summer which ruined my brand new stage 3 Rossler tranny and ALL of my coolant hoses. Im just about ready to fire her tonight,, and was filling the tranny when somethong told me to pip under the car to make sure i had no leaks LOL LONG BEHOLD !!!LOL There it was pouring out all over the floor from the back of the tranny .my first thought was the drive shaft wasnt in all the way LOL or maybe i was praying it wasnt 
LOL
It seems that the passanger side trans mount bolt, which are both the same size, pushed threw the bottom of the tailshaft alittle to make it leak !!I guess i wasnt paying enough attention while tightening down the new poly mount boltsThe only thing i can think of is the poly mounts plate must be thinner then the OEM one ??Anyways do you guys think JB weld will work for a small crack on the tail shaft or is the tail shaft under pressure while the cars running ?I know nothing about the internals of a tranny OR just replace the tailshaft ?and can this be done on the car ?I pray so, because its a MOTHER #@$#@ER to pull because of the twin turbo **** in the way.
I was really wondering if you guys ever heard of this happenning to anyone else????LOL
Thanks guys Barnat
