Metric 200 - What do I need to make one last

nhramnl · 06-02-2020, 09:19 AM

I recently had the rear end of my car apart to change the ring and pinion, and when I was re-installing the driveshaft, I noticed that the output shaft of the McClay THM200 in the car seemed to be free to move around an awful lot. I immediately checked my spare McClay THM200, and the output shaft was exactly the same. With the driveshaft installed, the movement was all but gone. Never noticed that degree of movement with Powerglides or THM350s. Does the driveshaft slip yoke stabilize the output shaft that much, in a THM200?
