Finally got my old truck back together tonight. A month ago, I convinced Wayne at Brewers to run some measurements on one of his replacement main shafts vs a new TY8330 yoke. Having found a matched set that measured less than .010 vertical end play, I told him I would buy them, but suggested he...

Based on my experience so far, I would prefer your situation in that the yoke needs to be tapped lightly to get it on the spline. An interference fit is going to cause issues, but due to the fact that there is usual a little roughness on the splines on a fresh yoke, combined with the fact that...

I measured the spline on the 727 i mentioned in an earlier post, and found the following: Major= 1.277 Minor= 1.191 The major is obviously .002 larger than than measurement on my 833, but the minor is.018 larger than mine, Yikes! This only serves to confirm the tolerance differences between...

Measured the spline on both of my mainshafts last night. They show the following: Original Shaft Major= 1.275 Minor= 1.273 Used Replacement Shaft Major= 1.273 Minor= 1.271 Interesting, a...

10/4, I have a spare non OD 833, and my yoke fits it fairly sloppy as well, but it is brutally loose on the OD shaft. There is another thread on here that I have been following where a fellow has had some similar fitment issues whereas his new yoke is too tight on a 727. The main issue appears...

10/4, I will try to measure the better looking of the 2 shafts, and compare to the 727. As the 727 is at a friends shop, it may take a couple of days to net the results. The original shaft is hard to measure, as the splines have a ridge on the top on the drive side from repeated hammering due to...

I have spoken to Wayne at brewer's, as well as Jamie Passon. I get the impression from both of them that this is not a common complaint. This would generally lead me to believe that a sloppy slip yoke fit on these shafts is the norm. It should be noted that the key factor here is the higher than...

10/4, I borrowed the tool from a friend that has a transmission shop, made it easy as pie.

Thanks for the reply guys. I previously changed the bushing with no change, as my first instinct was that the bushing was worn. Using a dial indicator, I measured the same play before and after the bushing swap. After being told the slop was not an issue, I have since had three different...

I am using an A833OD with an iron main case behind a 440 in a street rod pickup. Having noticed a vibration when "floating" the drive train at over 70 mph. I have narrowed it down to a sloppy fit between the slip yoke and the output spline. With the main shaft in the vise with full spline...
