2018 6L80 trans

[howell57]

Need Help! The trans slip yoke (GM) part goes into the back trans and then meets resistance. I've talked to Chevy and two trans shops and no one knows why I would have this situation. It's like there is a spring there or it's building pressure. Left it in overnight with pressure and no leak down. This is a new trans.

Weird... how far past the seal will the slip yoke go in before you get resistance?

It goes in about half way and then I can hit it with my hand and get it in until it sounds like it is bottoming out, still with about and inch of shaft showing. I verified it is a 6L80 from a two wheel drive. This is a 1410 yoke and I got a 1350 yoke and the same thing. I have heard of there being a short shaft and a long one, but I went to Chevy and had then run the vin number and it gave me two yokes, same length, one vented and one not vented.
I'm at a loss???

Maybe you need the vented one then? If the trans requires the vented one but the ones you have tried are non-vented, that could be why it feels like there is pressure building up. Sorry, I don't have any experience with it, just a thought.

Post a pic of the back of the output shaft....it could be the trans is meant for a Camaro...which uses a doughnut style coupling but has a pilot piece sticking out the back of the shaft....

Post the pic of the back end of the trans...

There are two spline lengths for 2WD transmissions....long and short
