I see now how the crush sleeve comes into play. I thought it was just to seat in the gap and seal a bit the front hole of the third member not to get the proper space between the pinion teeth and the threaded part where the yoke nut bolts in.

okay so the technique to tighten by small increment until i get the initial turning torque wouldnt mess the crush sleeve, right ?

to be sure i understand properly since english isnt my primary language the preload is the torque resistance when turning the pinion right? if yes then i might be a simpleton but wouldnt screwing the yoke nut little by little unti the torque resistance is the same be the way to go?

the spare one i have has a 3.23 ration the one the satellite has a 3.73 ratio i m quite confused about the crushsleeve i m looking at the diagram and i dont see how the crush sleeve will interact with the yoke. will the yoke be pushing back the sleeve when tightening it in? Thanks for all the...

so if i go throu the process i ll have to check the wear patern after doing the swap if the yokes are compatible

nice tip i ll check this out tomorrow

i have a 489 third member on my car, i also have a spare 489 third member with a 10splines 7290 yoke (took me 20 min to pull it out this evening), now i m kinda scared to pull out the one installed on my car and destroy the seal to see if it s a 10 or a 29 splines

okay thanks so i guess i will have to change the yoke on the third member for a 7290, i hope it s not too hard to do and on a 8.75 third member it wont mess with the pinion depth or the backlash

yeah i saw that one but it s 64.25$ to ship it to France so that s above 100$ + import fee for a U joint. guess i ll give a call to doctor diff if i cant find something for a decent price i ll also use this thread to ask a technical question reguarding those U joint I have a small block drive...

what do you mean by what a 7260 ? i m sorry if i cant express myself properly since english isnt my primary language i m saying that on my driveshaft the U joint that is on both end is a for a 7260 yoke i hope i can make sense

thanks for the advice i m looking for a 7260 to 1350 because my driveshaft is a small driveshaft and i m pondering and calculating how much it would cost to get a gear vendor overdrive + the needed hardware. i know gearvendor use a yoke for a 1350 ujoint. i dont think i could keep the current...

Hello everyone I ve been trying to find the proper part number either moog or spicer or some other reliable brand for that type of U joint so i can find it either on amazon or rockauto Thanks for your assistance once again !

Well I plan on weekend driving it around town, visit friends and to use it for the holidays trip wich is like 300km drive 4 time a year and of course use it as a daily during holidays

Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense

Quick question what make the 742 the most desirable case for an 8 3/4 third member

Thanks for the replies. I m wondering on a gear vendor od but it s quite expensive to import to France and getting the driveshaft cut and balanced with no specialized shop would be a pain, not to mention I would have to change my exhaust line from x to two straight lines unless there is a way to...

I wanted people's opinion on their preferred cruising rpm. I will soon get a new 408ci engine, I have a tf727 my gear ratio is 3.73 and my tires are 28 inch so at 60 mph I should be going at something like 3 to 3.2k rpm. Is it considered too high for some long distance trip.

i have a lokar kickdown cable. it should be set properly

Will do tomorrow today i m dealing with some familly stuff Thanks for the replies

The fluid on the dipstick is almost transparent when i pulled it out to check if the level were good (in neutral when hot like the dipstick says) I guess rip my trannie prolly water or coolant in the tranny
