Slip Yoke v. Fixed Yoke 3 Speeds...

Post by tjm73 »

So this may sound like a simple question and maybe it is as straight forward as it sounds, but I'm gonna ask anyway.

Does a slip yoke 3.03 use a sliding output like a C4 and a fixed yoke require a special drive shaft that will account for the in/out movement a drive shaft sees as it travels through its arc of motion?

I believe the lwb 71 I used to have had a fixed yoke and was a 2 piece shaft which telescoped between the carrier bearing and the tailshaft, I think?
My 68 is a swb and has a slip yoke which uses a one piece shaft.

That is exactly what I thought it would be. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
