65 barracuda driveshaft length / transmission question

Hi Scott,

I suggest that you convert your drive shft to a slip yoke similar to 4X4 transfer cases. When the yoke on my shaft wore out, I converted to the slip yoke. With a slip yoke the driveshaft length won't be that criticle and be much smoother. I found all the necessary parts on Amazon for a very reasonable cost. I got the part numbers from someone's post on this forum. With all wheels on blocks or on the floor, measure the length, with the tranny installed, between the differential yoke and the tranny coupler yoke. Find a shaft and take it to a driveshaft shop along with the below list of parts and your measurment.

spicer 5-153x U joint: $16.99, Spicer 2-2-349 flange yoke: $67.98, Spicer 2-40-1711 tube shaft: $56.92, Spicer 2-3-8001kx slip yoke assembly: $69.68.
