Default Driveshaft Questions?

1. How do you measure the length of a driveshaft?

2. How far should the slip yoke stick out of the transmission?

3. How far should the slip yoke go into the back of a M22?

4. How do you tell if a universal joint is bad?


Thankyou in adavance

1 center to center on your shaft u-joints

2 Vette rears are solid mounted so you don't have to allow or in and out movement. So your the yoke leave about 3/4 to 1 1/4inch out to help space for u-joint replacement ease

2 -3 are the same. You bottom out and then pull it back

4. Any slop or movement. They are cheap and you just replace them while things are apart.

I run a shorter shaft with 1320 spicer u-j's with my tko 600
