No, these should be the part numbers for the axle yokes, don't have the numbers for the pinion yokes but can find them if you need them.

D36 Rt. 14091460
D36 Lt. 14091459
D44 Rt. 12529662
D44 Lt. 12529663

The pinion yoke is on the DANA 44 carrier I plan on buying. The axle yokes are missing though, and so I would have to get them inclusive the missing bat wing and driveshaft. I need these parts to convert from a 36 to a 44.
Thanks
Arnold

I'm in the process of doing the same conversion, fortunately I have collected all the parts I need. The axle yokes can be very expensive and so can the batwing, I was lucky enough to find a complete rear suspension.
You should also get the support beam from a manual trans car if possible though I understand the automatic beam can be modified. If I spot any of the parts you need for sale I will send you a PM, best of luck.

I suggest that you contact forum member WVZR1. He has been very helpful getting me parts for my dana 44. Dave had the best prices as well.

I'm not sure what you are trying to find out.

If your concern is the driveshaft bolting up to the pinion yoke, from what I saw when I did my D36 to D44 conversion on my '92, the drivshaft U-Joints are all the same and will fit into any of the pinion yokes.

If your concern is to find out actual differences in pinion yokes, there is a difference between the early (pre '88) Dana 44 and late ('88 and up) Dana 44 pinion yokes. So, even though I didn't check, logic tells me the Dana 36 yoke is not the same as the Dana 44 yoke.

I rebuilt an early Dana 44 (because I wanted 3.07 gears for my A4) and had to buy a new pinion yoke because of seal wear.
That yoke had to be for an early Dana 44 to work, a late Dana 44 was not the same.

If you are talking about the driveshaft front yoke for an A4 fitting on a M6 driveshaft, yes it will fit.
I put my A4 front driveshaft yoke on a 6 speed driveshaft and used it for my Dana 44 conversion.
