Hi, Do many people use these type of tailhousing on their th400 transmissions on race vehicles with substantial rear travel.

My toyota pickup has a LS1 and a turbo 400 with a fixed yoke. My tailshaft has a slider in it and travel is about 18". I have had no trouble so far but do wonder if the bush support on the yoke will handle severe abuse of racing. Any advice welcomed.
Cheers, Bert

From what I understand most racers need it- and some use it- Jess

We're running that on our 400. It's strapped at 30" but we haven't had much time in the desert yet. The truck is very close to completion so it still just see's mild use.
