You not only have to replace that yoke...but you need to put a new bushing in the output housing of your transmission. Heck, with all that worn-off bushing material in the tranny, IT may need a rebuild, as well.

The good news is I got the vette without the engine and trans. I am getting ready to put
Engine and trans in and I just noticed the yolk.
