  • Need help asap!!!!

    I curently have a 98 firebird v6 3.8 (manual) that has a broken center drive shaft support bearing. the only problem is that i cant find any place that will carry the bearing support or have even heard of it on a car? i called GM and they said i have to purchase the entire drive shaft for 850 which is crazy !!! but i found a couple parting out cars. the only thing is i was told that it has to be from a manual car and a v6 3.8? and if anyone has any info on where to get it or if its true please help asap

    thank you

      and also you will never have to worry about the center bearing again it also puts more power to the wheels

        Buy a LS1 aluminum drive shaft off Ebay and be done. An 4 gen LS1 drive shaft fits.

          yea you can find an aluminum one over on ls1tech for under 100$...no more joint, no more headaches, and more power to the wheels...mine was noticably faster....

            I did the same thing. Just the knowledge that I don't have to worry about that bearing was good enough for me.

              you see the only thing im worried about is tht the mechanic said it has to be the same engine size and it has to be from a manual car esecially since my year car a 98 the engine sits back a little furthure?

              do i neede to look for any specifics?

                That's weird, I thought all 98's came with a 1 piece drive shaft. Is that only autos?

                        I haven't heard of any differences. a 1-piece should do.
