Default How far should TH400 yoke be going in?

Is 2" enough to bottom out?

Anyone? Anyone?

It only goes in 2" is it supposed to go in more? 2" seems like not enough.

Heres another pic of the dia of my yoke:

That doesn't seem like enough to bottom out. Take the tail housing off and you can see it.

You are awesome.

Greg at FTI said the same thing. Edit: FTI service ROCKS. It isn't even their issue and they are helping me. I love those guys!! THANK YOU FTI!

I took the housing off, 6 bolts, too easy. There was no obstruction, no snap rings, nothing, I was just being a wimp pushing it in and it was bottoming out binding on the bushing. So I lubed it up, and twisted it through while the housing was off, then put the housing back on and it bottoms out all the way. You can see in my one pic I put the yoke on, with the housing balanded on top so I can see how far it was possible, and it looks like my yoke length is near damn perfect for how much room I have before it bottoms.

Too easy! They say it's all about how much experience you have. Very true. There was nothing wrong, I just didn't know what I was doing and scared to push too hard! Also didn't lube enough.


So this is where it was "stuck" but the 2nd pic shows more of the story:



See in this pic, the yoke can come through way more but felt "stuck" at this point for no reason at all except I wasn't turning it, and didn't have it lubed:





Here I balanced the housing end on top to see where it should look when together:




And here it is all together! Yeah!
