Producte acabatview
The ACP FM-EY001 Drive Shaft Slip Yoke is a high-quality reproduction made with cast steel construction. It serves as a critical link in the vehicle's drivetrain, attaching to the rear of the transmission and connecting to the driveshaft. Its primary function is to rotate 1310 U-joints connected to the driveshaft, thereby transmitting power to the rear axle.

Instal·lació
- Preparació: Ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and supported. Disconnect the driveshaft from the rear differential and transmission. Clean the transmission output shaft and the driveshaft U-joint area.
- U-Joint Installation: Install the 1310 U-joint into the slip yoke, securing it with the 1 1/16-inch outer clips. Ensure the U-joint moves freely without binding.
- Lubricació: Apply a thin layer of appropriate grease to the splines of the transmission output shaft and the internal splines of the slip yoke.
- Slip Yoke Attachment: Carefully slide the slip yoke onto the transmission output shaft. Ensure the splines align correctly and the yoke slides on smoothly without excessive force.
- Driveshaft Connection: Connect the driveshaft to the slip yoke, ensuring the U-joint caps are properly seated and secured.
- Comprovació final: Verify all connections are tight and secure. Rotate the driveshaft by hand to ensure smooth operation and no binding.
Nota: Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and safety. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
Funcionament
Once installed, the ACP FM-EY001 Drive Shaft Slip Yoke functions as an integral part of the vehicle's power transmission system. It allows for the necessary length changes in the driveshaft as the suspension moves, while continuously transmitting rotational power from the transmission to the driveshaft. The 25 splines ensure a secure and efficient connection, minimizing power loss and maintaining proper alignment.
Manteniment
- Inspecció periòdica: Periodically inspect the slip yoke and surrounding components for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Check for any looseness in the U-joint or excessive play in the slip yoke connection.
- Lubricació: Ensure proper lubrication of the U-joints and, if applicable, the slip yoke splines according to your vehicle's maintenance schedule. Lack of lubrication can lead to premature wear and noise.
- Neteja: Keep the area around the slip yoke free from dirt, debris, and contaminants that could interfere with its operation or accelerate wear.
- Addressing Issues Promptly: Any unusual noises, vibrations, or changes in vehicle handling should be investigated immediately by a qualified mechanic.
