Drive Identification Assist

[MustangGuy2k]

Yes I was a bonehead for not marking my driveshaft when I took it out. I have a solid end, and another end has a thin neck. Which end is ID'd as the yoke end?

Thanks,

The end shown on the left is the axle end and the end shown on the right is the transmission end. The axle end has a universal joint (u joint) that attaches to the pinion yoke on the differential. The transmission end has the slip yoke on it that fits on the tailshaft of the transmission.

No these aren't like mine. This is the end I need to know "yoke" end?

Install a u joint in that end and attach it to the pinion yoke.

What do both ends of OP's driveshaft look like? I kind of get the impression that he doesn't have a yoke installed. Both ends having just the holes for the u-joints, and one end having that skinnier necked down section.

It does have a yoke. The other end looks like the other pictures, this end was different.
