Default Need help!!!

I just pressed in my new extension housing bushing and with the housing still off the car the driveshaft only slides in a 1/4 of the way or so and its really hard to spin inside the bushing. Is this how the new bushing should be? Any help would be appreciated I'm trying to get this thing buttoned up tonite. Thanks

Was the bushing perfect when you installed it? Did it get a burr on it during the install?

What bushing did you install ? What did you use to install it with ?

If its a TH350 bushing , thats not going to work . They are too big on the OD and when you install them , it crushes it just a little bit and the yoke will do exactly as you described .

If its that after marker bushing from Rockland , I have not seen any yet so I can not say if its the same case as the TH350 bushing or if you damaged it installing it .

Either way , its not right and will spin the bushing in the housing possibly ruining the tail housing in the process if you try to run it like that .

Its easy as long as you have the correct tools . I have the tools to remove it and install it with the tail housing on or off the transmission .
