Re: 2001 Camaro driveshaft
Yes there are several GM bulletins on it. And the problem only gets worse if you put a numerically higher than factory rear gear ratio in it. I'm assuming here that you are talking about a GM drive shaft. In my street cars I put 1LE driveshafts in them. I have them rebalanced as well. They don't have the heavy trans Yoke with the balancer on them which makes them easy to spot in a salvage yard if you are looking. Can find them on Ebay too but usually priced like Gold there. . On both my racecars I put aftermarket shafts in them.

Re: 2001 Camaro driveshaft
The 1LE driveshaft is aluminum, which dampens out those vibrations. It was a service fix for awhile. Watch out though, if you drop the clutch with high traction tires, it may twist up like a pretzel !

I think the 4L60, and the manual trans, uses the same driveshaft.
