You guys never told me all the gear lube would pour out of the tranny when you pulled the driveshaft out! Thanks a million!

Rule #1:

"Vessels containing liquid will empty if there is an opening for it to do so."

Hopefully, you found this out while you still had the driveshaft in your hands and were able to quickly stick it back into place to stem the flow. (?)

Hey don't worry same thing happened to me except I got transmission fluid in my eye yukky to this day I hate the smell of transmission fluid it smells very strange and I always think of how I copped it right in the face.

No. The drioveshaft was still on the car and I was taking out the tranny through the front (empty engine bay).

Now I REALLY got to paint my garage floor.
