First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Henderson Driveline (in Cleveland) told me 1/2" (3/4" max) clearance, to allow for suspension travel. If the car is on level ground, and you unbolt the rear ujoint at the rear, the driveshaft should move 1/2" out towards the trans. It's a little rough to estimate, since the rear of the trans and the pinion yoke are not on the same plane. Too much, and the shaft sticks out too far from the back of the trans and you may see some vibration. Too little, and you could buckle the shaft if the rear suspension travels up and pushes the shaft against the back of the trans yoke. I would suggest calling a driveline shop for a second opinion.

Does anyone here know how much play there should be in the propeller shaft where it enters the transmission? I've looked through the '68 service manual, but couldn't find such a spec.
