Anyone have any trouble getting the driveshaft in far enuf to get it to bolt to rear?

Hard to see but seems like I have an inch to go and it is stopped in the trans shaft..

Sounds like the splines are twisted on the yoke.

If your tranny isnt making any funny noises then I would prolly agree with GrnLX. How hard was it to take it off. Once you get it off the pinion flange it should slide out extremely easily and same for the install. Did you try rotating it a bit and then trying ot install. I would try that...maybe some of the yoke splines will fit better against certain parts of the output shaft. Tolerances you know....

Are you finishing a new tranny install? Or re-installing one that you've had in there, before? Maybe the splines are different, if it's a "new" trans.

First thanks for the responses guys. Well, amazingly all it took was gooping it up with some tranny fluid and then it went in easy!! Otherwise it would go in 2" and bam stuck.

I upgraded to a promotion g-force trans.

It's amazing what some lube and patients will do...

Glad you didn't go replace the transmission...lol.
