Hey guys just wondering if anyone is running a one piece shaft with a slip yoke. Just rebuilt the th400 and put a bolt-on yoke on it. I know tube dia has a little to do with whether it can be done or not, my tube diameter measures 3 1/2 inches. Trying to prevent the shaft from crashing into the tailshaft. When I dissasemble the trans the bushing at the output end of the planetaries had broken all the lugs off it and the lock plate that rides on the case broke off all the lugs....BAD! Rollerized the output and now it's SuperDuty! Gonna fix all the cobbles on the truck as time goes on. Thanks.
