12 bolt yoke ???
12 bolt yoke ??? I purchased a used 12 bolt and 3.5" Aluminum driveshaft for my car about a month ago. I installed it over the weekend. Everything was going smooth until it came time to install the driveshaft. The drive shaft did not come with a transmission yoke (is this called a slip yoke?), so I thought I could use my stock one, wrong.
The caps on the universal joint are too big for my stock transmission yoke (slip yoke?). So what do I do? Can I get a transmission yoke (slip yoke?) that fits my T56 and the universal caps I have, or should I try to get a different universal joint with two different cap sizes. Should I go ahead and upgrade the factory transmission yoke (slip yoke?) anyway??? Or is that wasted money?
Also can someone verify a transmission yoke is the same as a slip yoke so I don't have to keep typing out both.
Sorry for the long read all help is appreciated

Sorry for the long read all help is appreciated Maybe that is the way I should go. The caps in the after market DS measure 1 3/16". So the factory is 1310 and the other caps I have are 1350? Also my factory slip yoke does not look to good, is this a problem? It has close to 100K on it and is rusted and the rubber parts are dried out and cracked.
Anyone one have a part # for a 1350 slip yoke for a T56?

My stock yoke is 7" long, but the one I found that I think will work is only 6" long?

Verdad Gallardo the rubber was pretty cracked up on mine too and ive actually looked inside the slip yoke on my t-56...weird. i also dont remember what the cap diameters are for different series joints anymore. anyway, i would just get the 1310/1350 joint assuming thats the series on your DS.
sorry i couldnt be more help. did you try posting this in the transmission section?

I have a new driveshaft. It uses the same 1350 caps the 12 bolt uses. The problem is my factory slip yoke needs the 1310 caps. Thats no big deal because I can still use the conversion u-joint you just mentioned. Problem is my factory slip yoke looks like a$$. I just purchased a aftermarket slip yoke from Moser.
