Installation
1. Inspect the extension housing seal for damage. Install a new seal as necessary.
2. Lubricate the slip-yoke spline with grease.
3. Check to see if a paint mark is present on the front of the driveshaft and on the end of the transmission output shaft.
4. NOTE: Depending on the paint markings, there are 2 methods of indexing the driveshaft and the output shaft.
Install the driveshaft.
1. Preferred method - align the factory-made paint marks on the output shaft and driveshaft and position the driveshaft in the transmission.
2. Alternate method - align the index marks and position the driveshaft in the transmission.
