Thread: Minimum distance transmission yoke to frame

Tweet

I would wanna know how much of the yoke was on the shaft. You need a little clearance for when the rear end goes up and down and the yoke slides in and out of the trany. This way when you hit a bump it does'nt bottom out the yoke in the back of the trany. If the drive line is level or parallel to the trany you won't hardly need any play but if it's angled like your photo, the more clearance you'll need. The car does need to be sitting down on the ground to see what angle the shaft will be at. This way when the car hits a dip in the road and the rear end comes up and brings the driveshaft in line or level with the transmission the yoke will not bottm out in the back of the tanny. You should have at least a 1/2 inch of clearance from the yoke bottoming out in the transmission when the driveline is parallel or level with the tranny.
