Default Question on 4L80e tailshaft + slip yoke

I have a 1993 4L80e that I'm swapping into my 2002 Camaro. I've read there are a few different tailshaft styles on the 4L80e (splines all the way to the o-ring, etc) though I haven't seen pictures of each. As the pictures show, my splines go nearly all the way to the o-ring. The "factory" 4L80e yoke I removed had a bolt on the end holding it on, then 4 "prongs" for the driveshaft. It appeared to be slightly flaired on the end to accommodate the o-ring.

Before I removed the tailshaft housing to actually inspect what I needed, I bought a "TH400/4L80e" slip yoke off the classifieds I assumed would work. However, it doesn't appear to, as the pictures show. The yoke has splines all the way to the very end, and has a hard stop about 1/4" before the o-ring where it's solid metal on the tail shaft. As far as I can tell, it definitely won't go on any further.

So that brings me to two questions. 1) What slip yoke do I need that will actually work with this tailshaft + my stock driveshaft, and 2) what the heck kind of yoke do I have here?

Thanks for the help!

This post will do you absolutely no good, but I am in for answers to this as well. My 94 4L80E is the same way and too would like to know the answers to your questions.

We machine the output shaft on our builds so that a yoke like you have will work.

If you don't machine the shaft, you must use a counterbored yoke. We have the counterbored yokes for a 1350 u joint.
