Title: clocking the driveline yokes on allison 730
Post by: tucsontattoo on June 29, 2007, 07:29:29 PM
wondering if anyone knows offhand how the driveline yokes should be oreinted with the 730 Allison in a v-drive arangement. 12 /6 and 12/6 (same plane ) or 12/6 and 9/3 ( 90 degrees apart). Tom C. told me what was correct a while back but I have slept since then.
Any help would be great

                 Thanks and Hi everybody         T.T.

Cap ends should be in the same plane (12/6).
If you have a welded tube, (one with a seam on the inside), the cap ends go 90° to that.

Make very certain that the ends are aligned exactly or you'll find yourself with a nasty vibration and go through a lot of U-joints.
