1 Piece Shaft using YOUR Transmission Yoke and has a Regular Pinion Yoke.

Similar to M1-1. Use this if you are sending us a Trans. Yoke to use. Be sure the yoke fully inserts in to the trans. If it does NOT, put a mark with a Sharpie or Magic Marker where it stops at the trans seal.

Use this for where 2 fixed or bolted on conventional end or pinion yokes are used. Mostly truck shafts on front or rear.
