is my yoke in enough? check out my pictures... http://roy.shaptech.com/trans/
im having some wobbling and im thinking its the output shaft. im wonering if it was a prexisting condition that worsened or if the ds had any part in it.
there was vibration above 120...it kept getting worse...i jacked up the rear and theres a noticable wobble to the yoke

Re: is my yoke in enough? oh great <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ill talk to the sponsor that sold it to me before i post more about them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />
Re: is my yoke in enough? Just pretend thats your johnson bar and you what to stick some chick thats how far you want it in there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> and i would check your drive shaft loop looks close to rubbing on the top side of the shaft.
Re: is my yoke in enough? WOW - don't drive with that shaft!
My Denny's driveshaft only has about 1/8" of shaft showing. It is DEEP in the tranny.
You want as much contact between the yoke and the output shaft as possible. Yours is bad news.

Re: is my yoke in enough? well this is not too good to hear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> . i couldnt compare it to my stocker since it was torn in half <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . theres some fluid on the trans, that was my first clue that something wasnt right <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . i have quite a few miles on that setup (just changed the breakin fluid the other weekend, bout 1200 miles?). the vibrations at first seemed pretty normal, then they kept getting worse. im really glad nothing bad happened <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> .

Re: is my yoke in enough? Hey Roy sorry I had to run last night when we were IM'ing about this... When you sent me the pics I thought you had partially pulled the DS out.
Yeah that's bad news, I am thinking that an inch or 1.5 inches might be how much the stock DS protrudes from the trans. Your DS looks like 3 inches or more too short. I'd contact the shop asap and get this taken care of wow.

Re: is my yoke in enough? its one of the shops on the right hand side <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> . they havent returned my emails yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . ill try to give them a call later.
i talked to someone at another shop and they think its prolly just the bushing in the trans thats worn away now....15 dollar part. im hoping thats all thats broke, and of course the ds being too short.
<prays trans is ok>

Re: is my yoke in enough? ok, i measured the gap to be 2.5". the driveshaft is 40" long (center of u, to center of u) and thats what it was ordered as (not by me). stock one is 41 11/16" long.
