    Brian,

    I pulled my post. Denny and Tech had better answers.

    Cutting it off will work fine - as long as it was the end of the yoke bottoming out and not the trans output spline jamming in the yoke..

    Here's what I think happened. Even though the splines go all the way to the shoulder of the yoke, the output shaft of the trans isn't that long, so you bottomed out the end of the yoke inside the trans.

    How about carefully inserting a piece of welding rod inside the tailshaft next to the shaft until it bottoms out, then measuring the distance?

    How about pulling the driveshaft and comparing both yokes?

    If you're sure that the butt end of the yoke bottomed out, you can cut it off without any problems.
