Tailshaft bushing

Yikes, when I saw "tailshaft bushing" I had to respond. Back in 1969, I was being an idiot teenager and driving my 1968 Roadrunner way too fast and the transmission exploded, and the problem was in the tailshaft. I believe I was told, maybe by Dick Landy, that the bushing in the tailshaft was a weak link.

My transmission was an AT, but the term "tailshaft bushing" brings back bad memories.
