Check out your tailshaft slip yoke outer surface for scoring from a bad bushing. If the outer surface is smooth your bushing should be okay. If you yoke is galled you'll need to locate a bushing puller and installation tool to R&R the bushing. The new bushing and new rear yoke seal can be found at AutoZone....Timken 5200 for about $8.00. You'll also need to get a new yoke....best bet is a place that rebuilds driveshafts and the 5-1/2" yoke that is standard for most GM transmissions will run about $55-$75.00.

When you fill the transmission be sure to get it completely full as a low fluid level will play havoc with the bushing.
