whats up, hoping you guys could help me troubleshoot a couple things

1. my tranny leaks, i think its only after i get on it. it'll leak onto the cats. i tried looking around, but could not pinpoint where it was coming from, looks like around the tranny mount somewhere. its not overfilled b/c i checked the level + i've have it overfilled before with no leaks or smoke.

2. something in the drivetrain shakes at 100+mph. i've had this problem for a while. first i changed the ujoints only for it to get worse. then put an aluminum d/s in and it got better. still, i miss knowing i can do 140 with no trouble . could it be the bushing the d/s slides into (tailshaft bushing?). or could it be related to the leak

any help is appreciated

John are you happy with the fuel pump?

Also look into the rear shaft seal on the tranny probably the culprit easy to replace and only cost like 7 bucks?

It is around the area where the driveshaft slips into the tranny.

Did you check your shifter base? I thought you said it was coming from the top portion of your trans?
