sweet!I think my axle/spring windup has caused binding in the rear joint and caused the twist in the yoke.Sounds correct anyways.LOL

Your current shaft appears to actually be to short IMO based on the wear pattern on your yoke and also knowing how much more useable Depth your car wasnt using in the first place. That probably also helped lead to twisted splines, along with your past axel bind up from rotation.
I know!LOL Now I gotta make it longer. I think using a good yoke I can use the shaft I have with the 3" of spline it slides on.
With the slop in the splines I wouldnt call it good with that much out... sorry but your gonna need a new shaft..... the more its out the more the yoke and drive shaft can be off center... but its your ride.. its up to you

I am just saying,I have used the DS with the spline length like it is for 6yrs I think now.I will think hard on what you said tho.

I measured and as in this picture I can only get another 1/2" more spline so I don't think making the DS longer will help with anything.

I tried to read it but it didn't say if you had the clavert mono springs as well? As mine could come apart and there were holes to move the rear a inch.
If so you might look into that aspect.
No I have the ss springs.Thx tho!

Right now all your spline engagement is at the snout of the yoke, furthest out. Id like to see it closer to the u-joint. 3" of engagement at the end of the snout is much different then 3" of engagement deeper into the yoke.
Your 6.5" yoke depth cant be correct, from your measurement pics, that depth would be a inch into your Ujoint.
You have gotten by 6 years or so with the current setup. But it has twisted your yoke splines from not being ideal.
In those 6 years how many passes? 6 like Thumper Just kidding Mike/Thump
IMO, you know its not the best setup. Nows a good time to fix it for good. Or it could last another 6 years.
As already stated, 1" max, IMO from the yoke bottoming out from the trans. It looks like your 3",s out from that.
I say do it now Mike By the way, I like Custom Clutch and joint. They did my driveshaft down here in canton, for like $125 complete. I supplied the ends.

Measure the depth of the inner Yoke splines. I noticed on your Mancini yoke the splines start immediatly and they dont look to deep.
The stock one I have , the splines dont start for about a inch, but then go much deeper.
You could have a burr, or you could actually be bottoming out at your yokes inner depth. Measure it and see what you get.
I measure about 6.5" depth and the splines go almost all the way in.[see pic]^
Yep, Im looking at your pic.

The depth is 5.25" not 6.5" as you noticed. The splines will ingage 3.250" with the length it is now so with a 1" from bottom I am 1" short to be more clear.just for conversation sake the load on the yoke/joint will come from drive shaft angle change on the rear.correct? PS no need to answer and thanks for the help.
