[QUOTE="JPIStang, post: 15683844, member: 31822"] I would prefer not to badmouth, which is why I only discussed issues with the part, primarily. They make these shafts in China or Taiwan and have admitted that these shafts for other versions of the T56 have all had many fewer complaints than for our T56's. I broke my rule of only buying American made and now I'm paying the price. The only things I know for sure: End play with this shaft is further out than the stock shaft. (Is it a faulty bearing pressed on? Is the groove that stops the bearing a few thousandths off? With only one car at the moment I don't have the time to fully explore what is different. I also don't know that the end play is causing the sound!) I don't really have any recourse. I could try the PayPal satisfaction thing but I doubt that'll work. Tremec is still making their shafts and I found them for about $400 shipped. But I'm exhausted with this (mentally and financially tired of spending $$ on this) and am just going to throw on a 10 spline clutch disk. I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of an offer to exchange the part. Or at least a partial refund. If I were them, I'd want to check this part out to see if any manufacturing adjustments need to be made. [/QUOTE]
