Sounds like you installed a Long tail shaft transmission in your car. Most likely out of a bigger car or wagon.After removing a short tail shaft trans. We need to know if you pulled out a Manual transmisson or a Turbo 400 or TH350 . Most likely you need a A body only transnission to replace yours. Take it back, if its a used one, its the wrong one, Pontiac, Olds or Buick will work but needs to be Short tail shaft. Or You need to have the tail shaft replaced with one like on your old transmission. Might can have your swapped over? Tail shaft is the last part of the transmission housing. Modifying your crossmember and having a new driveshaft made not smart just incase the transmission might not be very good or last more than a year.
