Front driveshaft hits transmission...

[Aidan Grant]

My front driveshaft hits my transmission shifter going to the front differential. When I bought the truck the driveshaft was removed saying it needed new u joints. I had new u joints put in and removed the t-case, replaced the front output shaft seal and a thicker oil pump in the transfer case I cleaned out the shavings and put everything back and then installed the driveshaft to my dismay it rubs the transmission shifter I have a 4l60e and a np261hd with a  6.0 in an 05 2500hd ext cab chevy. The previous owner said he had replaced the transfer case before. Any ideas of what I could have done wrong to cause this? or is it just a close fit? Ill add some pics in a bit. Could anyone share some pics of their front driveshaft fitment in relation to the transmission? Thanks.

Maybe post a pic of where it's touching.

 

And does it continuously rub if you rotate the driveshaft by hand, or is it pressing too hard to rotate it?

 

Assuming you've got the TC bolted up to the transmission and also bolted in the transmission crossmember, and the front axle can't really be installed wrong, I would guess the driveshaft is installed wrong, likely the u-joints aren't properly centered in their yokes (not the right term for it).
