Jag Yoke Options

CCX33911 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-13-2001, 08:39 AM

I am looking for the best option for yoke on a Jag rear end. The original includes a flange which I think CWI sells an attached yoke. I currently have a yoke by "Mr. Roadster" which installs in place of the flange unit, but uses a smaller universal.

Are there other yokes available that are heavy duty and use large universal joints?

I have heard that the diff uses Dana 44 gears. I wonder if a late model corvette or some 4WD application (with Dana 44) would work?

Any ideas?

I dunno about yokes, but quoting from a series of articles on the Jag rear end from Street Rodder magazine, 1995:

""This is the same Dana 44 used in GM 4-wheel drive trucks since the early 1960s and 20 other car manufacturers world wide."

The article also mentions that standard USA nuts and threads are used in the internals.

Hey,

The best place to have all of your questions answered is Randy's Ring and Pinion. www.ring-pinion.com or 425.347.1440

I talked to him about redoing my Jag with Traction Lok for my
Mid-States. He knew what he was talking about, plus he only wanted half as much to change the gears and refresh the carrier
as a shop here in KC.

I will be sending my center section/pumpkin to him after the first of the year.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em, tires that is.
