post a pic of your install please. that sounds all wrong. Whatever happened i suspect will continue if you reinstall the old part but DO let us know how that goes something went wrong in your install I think. The part locates the rear end tang in the same location and orientation. |

Sorry about that, it sounds like something is off for sure. There will be a little more vibration, but it's far from being obnoxious or loud. One thing we'd like you to check is the metal sleeve inserts in the bushing. Do they seem like they're longer than the bushing? If it's not that, maybe something wasn't tightened up? |

I did the whiteline kit at the same time and I assure you that it was supported and everything was bolted back. My friend owns a shop we did it together, trust.

The orientation is the same as the second to last picture from op, where the bushing mountain is on top and the bulge is facing the gearbox. |

Interesting, first I have heard of this. I have one ready to install when my break in is over and modding begins. Definitely interested to hear how this turns out.

Hiya!
I'm currently doing the install. I've take out the OEM bushing and I'm about to install the PERRIN bushing. One question. I undid the clamps that were holding the drive shaft, but when I undid them the driveshaft went down towards me about 4-5inches(it did not fall completely) and I heard a kind of vacuum sound. The shaft probably went out about 3-4 inches but I managed to catch it before it came out completely. Would there be any problem with that?(im a newbie)

Checked the sleeves and they are fine, everything is fine. I went down under to do an engine, trans, diff fluid change. After the fluid change the shifting felt a lot smoother, but still pretty notchy on 5th and 6th gear. Also, the noise level did go down, but it's still louder than stock.

The shaft came out, probably a couple inches. The 'bent' part of the shaft went down about the same level as the exhaust, it didn't fall out though. I put it back in and finished the Perrin/Cusco install I just did, no CEL lights and no drips. I hope everything is A-OK.

It's pretty good mod. Shifts are real nice and smooth, less 'lurch'.

Installed it yesterday along with the whiteline insert, but didn't notice any real difference from stock as far as shifting goes...
