Default Tranny question

Anyone know where I can pick up a tail shaft bushing and seal for an 85 slush box?

Any local trans shop should have them. GM used the same rear real and bushing in almost every rwd trans from 1960-today.
If you get in a jam, and cannot find one easily, I have them here. No reason I could not drop them in the mail.

The transmission shops around here don't sell parts and the auto parts stores don't even have a listing for a auto trans tailshaft bushing. Everybody has the seal.

It doesn't leak but the yoke has a lot of side to side play where it enters the transmission housing. I do get a little vibration when it shifts into 4th (OD) if I'm going uphill.

Is it easy to replace? Any special tools required? I just did half shaft u-joints which was a piece of cake!
