Ahhh I missed that he has a C6 and not a manual... definately check the flexplate bolts and convertor bolts.

If you used ARP flexplate bolts, they are usually too long. At least for FE engines they are.

I took off both shafts and no noise so I decided to tear it apart jsut now and i'm done and have maybe 90% of the noise gone.

1st culprit

the yoke on the 9" was made for big caps on the ujoint and of course it had small caps and since it tightened with the ubolts I didnt double check my the guys work.

well I took of the ujoint and replaced it with the correct ujoint and most of the noise was gone

2nd culprit

the front shaft had a lil to much play between the splines and yoke so I did a home remedy and notched all the splines twice and then packed with grease so it will not make as much noise when in 4wd

this thing was breaking my head

oh and the second shaft that had a cv on the ball and guide there was a crap load of rust that would cause it to get stuck and I soaked in a bucket of oil then greased the joints and now i have a spare!!!!!!!!!!!
