Which Yoke and leak questions

dschem said
Thank you for the advice, I was able to find another yoke like my original so I am going to try that first to see.

Does it make sense that there seems to be a spring loaded feel when I push the yoke into my trans? What is causing that?

Thanks

Your trans probably has the Oring on the shaft that goes inside the tip of the yoke.
That would cause it to feel spring loaded as the air inside the yoke gets compressed and has nowhere to go. (normal for the Oring seal style)
