Default 71 transmission yoke..... help!?

I have a 1971 454 with a manual transmission. I am having a new 454 put in it and my mechanic called and said the yoke on the transmission is worn/cracked. He looked locally and could not find a new one. He told me the orig part number is 3930827. I have searched a few of the aftermarket sites and can only find a part called front driveshaft yoke. Is this it?? If not any ideas on where I can get one??

Default source of parts

I am not sure of your time line and your location, being that it appears a mechanic is performing some or all the work.

There are many sources available for used Corvette parts, but this I have had repeatedly very good luck getting parts from this used part vendor.

Good Luck

The 1971 Vette is the first year to use the TH400 large output shaft Muncie. The yokes are easier to find than the 1970 and earlier Muncie 4 speed yokes wiith the Powerglide/TH350 sized yoke. I have a good used TH400/late Muncie yoke if you need one for $95 shipped to anywhere in the 48 states. Email me if you need a picture of it.
