I think that 1 3/4" is a lot of bare slip yolk. I was told that they need 3/4" min-1" max travel.....slide the slip yolk into the trans till it bottoms,then mark it...pull it out 7/8",& measure center to center of the u joints from there. This info came from a driveline shop that has done several shafts for me. due to the differences in slip yolks(as to where the spline starts on the inside)measurements will vary,& its hard to get the proper depth by measuring the outside. Fast68 Chevy....dont veiw this as an arguement....many things I have learned the hard way,& this was one of them .Thats another story,& too long to type,(but it had both me & the driveline shop cussin).....69 longhorn.
