Tailshaft and Yoke

**hj308** · 28-08-2012, 07:52 PM

Can anyone tell me the correct end the yoke goes back on the tailshaft , is it the narrow or bigger end, a friend put some new uni s on for me and put the yoke on the big end but I think it may have gone the other way around??

It'll only go together one way mate. The bigger end is the yoke. Just make sure the circlips are in tight against the inside faces of the yoke and shaft.

Dave

Actually, sorry to post again but (reading your original post again) my answer was correct for TH400 shafts that have a larger uni at one end and a smaller one at the other. Was that what you were referring to? If you're referring to a shaft that has a reduced diameter in it (with same size unis at each end) I have to say I don't know the answer to that one sorry.

Dave, not totally correct. 308 TH400 shafts have 1.125" and 1" unis at opposite ends but 350 TH400 have 1.125" at both ends.

The 350 TH400 HQ Statesman shafts are relatively common too as so many were made and have been wrecked for engine & box. Nowhere near as easy to find as HJ-HZ with 308 and TH400 in LWB (Stato, wagon, ute and van) but they do appear enough to stuff you up when you go to use one!
