Pat - after I cut the driveshaft for 1" play, I would have about 1 to 1.5" of yoke actually hitting the splines of the tranny if the suspension were to bottom out...

Brian - I did see that thread, but my yoke is a new Spicer unit that I just purchased. Regardless, I'll take a look.

I'll still check with the race shop tomorrow. It seems like the yoke should be sliding in much further than it is, but I'm new to the auto-trans stuff - I guess I'm a hardcore "third pedal" guy at heart...
