Hi everyone. Is there a rule of thumb to go by for the transmission yoke on an automatic transmission, to be sticking out of the transmission?? A friend brought by some Pontiac driveshaft's that he had stored away, and I tried one. I could barely get the rear universal bolted in. The trans. yoke is almost up against, touching the transmission, but not quite. This is with the car suspended on the lift.. Once on the ground, that distance will increase about 3/4"-1". At least that was my past experience. Thank you, Carmine.
