TomRhere Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Best way to determine driveshaft length is to slide the tranny end in until it bottoms, then pull it back 1". Measure from center of bearing cap of the tranny yoke to the flange on the rear diff. Take that measurement and driveshaft to the shop doing the work. Tell them how you determined length and they'll make you one. Done it that way many times for various vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
