Slip Yoke leak.... TQ arm caused?? OK. I developed quite the leaky slip yoke. I replaced the seal twice and ended up going to the Chevy dealer and asking one of the transmission techs there. (I tried everythig; packing the seal w/ grease and checked the YOKE for burrs, dryed the seal, applied LIGHT coat of oil on install.)
It would only leak when I got on it in 2nd, or at high RPM's. THe tech told me that it was the bushing in the ext housing of the T56, not the seal. I installed a BMR adjustable TQ Arm about a year ago, along w/ an Energy Suspension Trans mount. Would this increaded load on the tailshaft of the trans cause the bushing to fail? I also installed LT's and had a dyno tune. I drove 2100miles from CT to NM w/ out a problem. Mabie leaking due to it's newly appointed daily driver status? I very seldom do brake stands, or smoke shows.... I do shift hard when I race... (of course)
I'm looking at the BMR TQ Arm relocation bracket.
