What is the purpose of a slip yoke?
The slip yoke is an important component of any drive shaft assembly. The slip yoke assembly (pictured on the right) is what allows drive shafts and PTOs to flex or “slip” with their given application. The slip yoke is also essential for allowing u-joints to rotate properly with the drive shaft.
How far does slip yoke go into transmission?
DD: The slip yoke should be able to go into the tailshaft of the transmission so the barrel is fully inside the seal. Then, pull out the yoke 1 inch. This is the correct amount of spline contact for the slip yoke.
Is a slip yoke eliminator necessary?

How to measure the diameter of a transmission slip yoke?
* Measure the major diameter (deepest part) inside the slip yoke. ** Some slip yokes have blank spaces called blind spots. Count each blind spot as one spline. Are you looking for an inside snap ring or outside snap ring style transmission slip yoke? Diameter measured over bearing cap space. Distance measured over compressed bearing caps.
