Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear-position fitment before installation on 1984-1985 Toyota Van models. Confirm the transmission yoke and flange connection points match the vehicle’s original driveline configuration. Because this shaft is not adjustable and does not use a slip yoke, proper application matching is important before installation.
