4l80e has the bolt-on yoke. my driveshaft has the slip on yoke
Hey guys another question. All the 80e I have had were slip on yokes. So the replacement I purchased due to its mint condition came with a BOLT ON Yoke. Do I just unbolt that yoke and slip my slip yoke on, or will it damage the trans or leak?
I was thinking the worst case scenario, unbolt the yoke, and just swap yokes on my driveshaft? That maybe my cheapest option with a new U-joint from NAPA.

generally bolt on yokes are for vehicles that have IRS. that way the differential stays in one spot and the drive line distance doesnt change. the slip yokes account for the whole axle moving up and down and slight changes in distance. i would change it out for a slip yoke personally. i had to change the t56 i got out of a cts-v from a flange yoke to a slip yoke and that required changing the output shaft. what vehicle was your 80e meant for?
