Im getting a LS1 driveshaft off an 2000 Z28, my buddy picked it up for me and im getting it for $55... Should I replace the ujoints and/or yoke regardless of what it looks like?

When I pull the yoke out of my tranny, will fluid spill out or no?

Maybe i should put a safty loop while im at it

 

If the back of the car is high enough you won't leak any fluid. I wouldn't replace anything unless you have a reason to think they are bad. If you have problems, it only takes 5 minutes to take it back out and have it fixed. That is how a poor college student would do it anyway .

I'm a poor college student! lol

Thanks, I'll be getting the driveshaft later today and if everything looks good i'll just leave it.

 

Well i installed the new driveshaft and im still getting this huge vibration... It starts at 80mph and gets worse and worse the faster you go... It feels like its right underneath the console... It started just after my rear end gear install

 

When I got my aluminum driveshaft off ebay I had a local driveline shop put new u-joints on both ends and rebalance it. It felt ten times better then the heavy steal one I had in my car. No vibration at all!!!!!! It cost me 60 bucks for everything except driveshaft.

 

up, anyone got any ideas on my vibrations?

 

where are you guys gettin alum driveshafts for $55-60 bux ? can someone pick me up one and I'll give you 80 shipped to 12189 ?
