AOD Casting numbers Reply #15 – January 09, 2008, 04:42:01 PM guess what... after i had the new transmission in, everything hooked up, the driveshaft was last before filling it up... the yoke didn't go in all the way. the splines weren't machined deep enough on the new tailshaft... so instead of taking it all back out and swapping that shaft, i got the driveshaft shortened, yoke stock and unaltered, will this cause any issues? the yoke doesn't go in as much as an inch... how much risk do i have of it falling out when the rear articulates?

AOD Casting numbers Reply #21 – January 19, 2008, 12:42:56 AM Ok, I brought this question over here because we were starting to hijack the other guy's thread. If the speedo seems to be reading correctly at highway speeds, then the sensor's driven gear, and the trans drive gear are probably the same as before, that is good news because you do not have to calibrate the speedo now. Now the question is, how long does it display speed after you come to a stop? 2-3 seconds, or more like 30? 2-3 would be completely normal, just call it an old ass processing system playing catch-up to what is actually happening. If the car never had that concern before, then it is slightly possible that you have a new signal feeding into the speed sensor circuit. Problem with that is that speed sensor produce an AC signal, and these old cars dont have many of those, if any, near that part of the harness on the car to short into that circuit. Look at the wiring harness at the top of the trans bellhousing to see if part of it is pinched. Quote Selected
