What is it that you are doing, a LSx swap in a v-6 car? Might beable to pull the tail shafts off and switch them to make them fit. I thought the TA rubber inserts were the same in all year 4th gens, so why not use the v-6 rubber mounts with the v6 trans?
It sounded (to me) as though he's wanting to use the T-5 trans that came stock behind his 3.8 with an LS-series V8. In my initial response to his post, I wrote that you probably could swap tailshafts - but then saw that it looked like he wanted to use the V6 transmission, & edited my post.
And considering the fact that GM wouldn't even put a T-5 behind the "limp-noodle" TPI 350 engines, you can imagine how long it would last when paired up with an LS...

here are pics, the v6 bracket on the ls1 tranny, it appears to be a no brainer "NO" and swapping out the tailshafts is a "NO" b/c they are not the same so where can i get this new part ?

yes thats what i figure.
I have contacted surferd15 on here about the bracket and he refuses to return my calls. I will be paying him a visit shortly if this motor is damaged.
