How much travel should a slip yoke have?
How much slip travel should I have? In most applications the minimum is 3/4 inch and more than 1 inch is not necessary. This is measured with the rear suspension supported on safety stands or with the rear end on the ground.
How much travel does a driveshaft need?
Just to close the loop, here’s an answer I got from a local driveline shop (which has a very good reputation): they usually advise leaving about 3/4 inch of travel in the driveline when the vehicle is at normal ride height.
What is the purpose of a slip yoke?
The slip yoke is present to transfer power from your Jeep’s transfer case to the driveshaft, sliding in and out of the transfer case. This sliding capability allows for changing length depending on the vehicle’s movements.
How do you balance a drive shaft?
To field balance a driveshaft, raise vehicle parallel to the ground so that the vehicle can be started and the tires and wheels can rotate freely. Measure about six inches from the yoke end, and place four marks 90 degrees apart around the driveshaft. Number them so that they can be identified.
What is an Sye for a Jeep?
A slip yoke eliminator (SYE) eliminates the slip yoke from your drivetrain, turning it into a fixed yoke. An SYE also provides a slight increase in ground clearance due to the flatter drivetrain angels.
What is CV driveshaft?
Constant Velocity, or CV drive shafts, are a unique type of drive shaft that allows for continual rotational velocity through a variable angle without a significant increase in friction or play. The most common applications for a CV drive shaft are: Front-wheel drive vehicles. All-wheel drive vehicles.
How to measure the diameter of a transmission slip yoke?
* Measure the major diameter (deepest part) inside the slip yoke. ** Some slip yokes have blank spaces called blind spots. Count each blind spot as one spline. Are you looking for an inside snap ring or outside snap ring style transmission slip yoke? Diameter measured over bearing cap space.
