hey guys im working on a 08 2wd 80e out of a van.

when i slide the yoke all the way to the dust boot (1/4" before it hits) i can feel the yoke engage a oring inside the tail housing. the oring is not on the shaft but part of the tail housing.

the yoke is about 3.5"s on the machined part, do i need a longer yoke?

how far out do i need to hold the yoke for a irs car?

some of the output shafts had less splines, used an o ring-diff type yokes, some had the first like 1/2" bored inside to fit over the oring
I slide the yoke all the way on, then pull it out aprx 3/4", meas. center to center to the rear ujoint with the rear loaded-you can load/unload the rear, see the diff in length rear to trans

thanks for the reply.

th o ring on my trany is not on the output shaft.it seems like it is a part of the tailhousing, as it slides over the out side of the yoke.

i need to now if in need to get a longer output yoke to engage that o ring or will i be ok leaving it alittle short of that o ring

There is no o-ring on the inside of the tail housing, not other than the seal at the very end. There is an o-ring on some output shafts and prevent oil from getting into the splines and coming out the center of the yoke for bolt-on yokes. But it's not necessary to engage this o-ring when using a slip yoke.

big thanks to jakes performance.

so only some 80s have this o ring as part of the tailhousing. and it basicly does the same thing as above. keeps oil out of the splines and no you dont need to engage it
