I have a '96 3.8L auto trans Camaro. I just bought a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft from a 2002 Z28 and it's supposed to have a 1350 yoke. I'm a bit embarassed to say that I have no idea what "1350" means. I've searched several of the message boards and have found references to 1350 and 1310 yokes but nothing explaining the differences. Can anybody tell me what the difference between a 1350 and a stock V6 yoke is? Will it fit my '96 V6 Maro without modification? If not, what do I need to modify or replace it with?
all 1993-2002 driveshafts are interchangeable in terms of fit [img]smile.gif[/img] Have fun installing it and dont forget to have some tranny fluid on hand for when you do it (you need to drain the fluid so I hear)

No you don't. The drive shaft slips into the tailhousing of the tranny, you might lose a few drops of fluid when you pull the old one out, but as long as you have the new one ready to put in right away, you'll have no worries.
It depends if the joint is in the rear or the front of the DS. If its in the front, it probably will fit. If its in the rear, no, you would have to buy a new yoke for the rear end. The 1350 series U-joints are bigger than the stock joints.
1350 U joints are designed to fit a 12bolt rear end, more than likely the previous owner had a moser 12 bolt. This SHOULD be just a matter of swapping the u-joint. When you say yolk I'm betting they are talking about the rear u joint you can buy an offset u-joint so a standard driveshaft can be bolted to a 12bolt rear end, basically one side of the u joint fits the driveshafte and the opposing cups are bigger and fit the bigger rear end. Now if the driveshaft had the yolk (part where the U joint fits) changed out so the you could go with the bigger regular 1350 U joint well then I'm not sure exactly what to do next. I'd say just take it to a driveshaft/machine shop and let somebody there look at it. I'm betting there is some old mechanic who has been doing it for 30 yrs with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth that can help ya. :D
ps usually when you say yolk you are referring to the part that slides in the transmission ie slip yolk, now I'm pretty sure that's not what you call where the u joints go in but throughout this post what I have been referring to as the yolk IS where the u joints mount/fit

the 1350's arent designed for the 12 bolt, just most people use them because they're the biggest/strongest joints you can buy. And like he said, you can buy a conversion U-joint to make it fit the stock pinion yoke(its called a yoke too! ;) ) .
