sanity check - transfer case yoke

[barrolde]

Hi Guys,

I've done lots of reading and think I have a handle on things now but will double check with you all to be sure.

My truck has a
dana 44 front diff
TH400 3 spd auto tranny
NP 205 tcase
GM 14 bolt / 10.5" rear diff

I am going to replace the fluids in all of the above in preparation for spring wheeling.

I'm starting with the np205 because i had a leak in the output shaft housing anyways where the aluminum looking piece meets the cast 205, i took it apart and there was no gasket / sealant there??

My question is, how can I tell whether that is a slip yoke or fixed? I've read that fixed is better because it prevents your tail shaft from pulling out of the tcase? Is this right?

Also, is there anything else you can tell me about this setup from the pics? I'm still learning lots here

Thanks again!
