And my first question. I can not get the drive shaft yoke to go all the way in the transmission. I noticed one of the splines in the yoke is missing. Is the a reason for this? Is there something I have to align it, to get the yoke to go all the way in? I don't want to pull the newly rebuilt transmission out .

I had a Mustang transmission rebuilt with all new Ford parts and the rear bearing was undersized. The transmission service owner said that was the first time in 20 years a factory part was wrong. Should have learned my lesson and tried the yoke before I installed the transmission in the vette.

The yoke will slip in about an inch. Then it hits a solid stop. Hate the idea of removing the new rear seal just to check were the yoke is hitting. or even worse removing the transmission after I got all the wiring and cables connected

found a burr on the new bearing. removed the rear seal light sanding and now the yoke fits perfectly.
