I recently replaced the U joints on my 89 GT and it is still has a slight vibration at above 70 mph. Someone told me that the tailshaft bushing might be worn out. And also, when I looked underneath the car, the tailshaft seal seems to be a little worn out too because there is a fluid leak at the seal. I've been told that you will need a special tool to remove/replace the bushing and the seal. Did anybody replaced this before? Does anybody know a good shop where I can bring my car to replace this?

The tool is cheap, and the seal is easy to replace/remove. The bushing needs to be pulled out and pressed back in, but if you can pull the trans and bring it to a manual transmission shop a lot of them will do it for free, it should take all of two minutes.

No, you can do it in the car, but if you have it done you're more likely to be charged for it. Get the puller and do it yourself, it's a ten minute job.
