talk about your insecure question??? ok, im going to be swapping my drivesaft on my z and just want to make sure it is as straight forword as it seems.
1) jack up rear of vehicle
2) unbolt bearing caps at the yoke(4 bolts i believe)
3)pull driveshaft from tranny
4)slide new driveshaft into tranny
5)rebolt and torque the ujoint to the yoke
6)grease up the ujoint
7)lower the vehicle
8)start it
9)get on the road and see how good a carbon fiber ds can take some rpm dumps! <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
am i missing anything? anything unique to the ls1? does anyone have the torque specs for the ujoint retaining bolts?
thanks

Re: talk about your insecure question??? Refill any lost transmission fluid. And , don't over tighten the rear straps on the axle (that hould the u-joint), you'll kill the u-joint (It crimps the caps and overheats the bearings). Good luck!
