Default So my girlfriends 3.4 has power to rip TransTail

Not sure exactly what happened, not sure if transmission tail already had a small hairline crack or what.

Basicaly I went and replaced the rear seal on the transmission where the driveshaft sticks it (cause it was leaking) and another seal was also leaking, the one where the tail hooks up to the trans not sure what its called but didnt change that.

2 days later girlfriends driving over to my house and BOOM SMACK WRAR loud noises and shes on the side of the freeway. Get her towed home and....

Its as if the rear of the housing was peeled off like a orange, and the driveshaft rear yolk (which i just replaced) is real hard and barely moves, i had greased it and everything but the end caps fell off too and smacked the exhaust a good ammount

So i got her old transmission sitting there, and i pulled off the rear section but now I cant find the damn seal, autozone doesnt carry it, anyone know for sure the name of it?



Ill post pictures of actual damage tomorrow

So you need the tailhousing to mainbody gasket?
1358899 is the oring/gasket
2424688 is the tailhousing (178.09 + S&H @ GMPD. OUCH!)

If you are talking about #30 & 31 in this pic:
