    Aluminum Driveshaft: Yoke too long

    problem solved. my mistake. I bought the driveshaft last june and am just installing it. It was the wrong one. Yep, it was the "J" and I needed the "G" since I have a pre-1996. We all make mistakes. I can't believe I'm telling you about this one, though. :)

    Aluminum Driveshaft: Yoke too long

    I did and it won't slide into the back of the tranny. Do I just need to force it? I remembered reading somewhere on here wher I might have to switch yokes. Maybe I could try putting the yoke on without the driveshaft just to see if it really does fit.
