4l80E slip yoke question
4l80E slip yoke question What is the outer diamter of a 4l80E slip yoke? I belive its what 1.89? any ways ive recived 2 slip yokes in the mail for a 4l80e and they wont fit into the back of the 80e houseing its to large to fit. Now the bearing or bushing as you would call it in the back is brand spanking new so im gunna fair to say that its more accurate than the slip yoke. Any one know the actual size of the slip yoke ?

I've had at least one customer to run into this with a 4L80E and a Mark Williams TH400 yoke.
What he found was the bushing we installed was too tight. I'm sure that's what you're running into as well. Remove the tailhousing and try to insert the Yoke and then insert it onto the outputshaft to make sure it's not binding on the shaft.
If it won't go into the tailhousing then the bushing will need to be honed. You can do this yourself with some sandpaper and some ScotchBrite. Sand the bushing down using rotating strokes checking it for fitment as you take it down. Once you get a nice fit then you'll buff the bushing with the Scotch Brite. Plan to replace the seal as it will most likely get damaged from the process if you're not careful.
It sucks to have to do it, but I've seen it before. Because of that experience we've began test fitting yokes on the shaft prior to shipping them out.
Holler at me if you need to.
