Slip/Fixed Yoke Driveshafts

[merc359]

Hi all,

I am in the process of putting a fixed yoke in my 205 t-case. However, I am unclear where the "give" occurs. The slip yoke has some...welll......slip to it that allows for changing elevations and adjusts for flex when the rear driveshaft is moving. Do I need to replace the driveshaft to one that has some sort of slip mechanism built into it, or is that the whole point of the fixed-yoke: that it keeps everything where it is supposed to be?

Rookie question...i know...

Yes, you'll need to replace the driveshaft to allow movement, otherwise you'll be 2wheeling in no time.

Slip / Fixed Yoke Driveshafts

Do some driveshafts have a sliding shaft built into them like my front driveshaft?

Any ideas on an approximate cost of that?

Thanks.

Yes, you will need a rear shaft with the slip like your front shaft has. I bought 3 new driveshafts that were balanced and had Spicer u-joints for $470 at a local drivetrain shop.
