Default 4l60 tailshaft?
is there a bearing or bushing or something in the tailshaft that can wear out bc my driveshaft has a lot of play in it when u shake it up and down in and it has a vibration in it when u get to about 40mph or higher. if so how much and how hard is it to replace

Yeah, its a bushing. You would need to remove the tailshaft, press the old one out, new one in, and replace the tailshaft. I have done them on the t56s before.

How many miles on the tranny?

Has the Tranny been rebuilt before ??

You might have issues with the bushings been worn in the tranny, or other internal problems that is creating that extra play.

Did you not install these when you received your new transmission from them? I'm pretty sure that they should have been shipped with your trans.
