getting stuff ready for final assembly this summer. got the right info on here for my pinion yoke (short one). i have a alum. daytona pinion support which i will be taking to my machinist friend to have everything pressed on which includes pinion support races,carrier bearings,pinion bearing. i'm still a little confused about the yoke. i called quick per. and they said to take about a quarter inch out of the yoke where the nut goes on. that makes it a little deeper so the nut will grip more threads. this is a 28 spline 3:50 us gear set. makes sense because the inner pinion support requires the larger bearing for the daytona. also must use the solid crush sleeve. don't know about any spacers that might have to be used for this setup in the pinion area. hope someone on here has gone through the same thing and knows the ropes and can help me avoid the school of hard knocks

I removed as much as possible from the end of the yoke to still allow the nut to tighten without bottoming out on the pinion. Has one thread sticking out past the nut. Be careful that yoke doesn’t over engage the seal.

thanks for the reply. when you say the end of the yoke, do you mean where the nut screws on or the end that goes in past the seal? thanks again

End that goes past the seal. I have a 5" long billet yoke. Not all yokes may allow this, I can't say.
