Borg-Warner T-10 Advice

Re: Borg-Warner T-10 Advice

I wouldn't use chinese trash on any restoration or even on street cars if a U.S.A. made part can be found.

Unfortunately, you're going to increasingly find that SERVICE parts, especially for older applications, are only available as manufactured by "off-shore" sources.

For newer applications, many of the OEM, production-line parts are off-shore sourced. In those cases virtually all of the SERVICE parts will also be off-shore sourced.

another thing to check. often a passenger car driveshaft yoke was miss-used on these T-10's instead of the corvette yoke which is longer. the shorter yokes tend to twist the end of the transmission tailshaft because they only engage the rear portion of the tailshaft. so make sure the longer corvette yoke slides freely all the way in. BTW, i think the repro corvette yokes are cast in china and not forged as originals so try to find a good used original. jim o.

Can anyone provide the Yoke length of Vette vs. passenger car...I had a twisted tail shft when our T-10 was rebuilt

The C1 Corvette T-10 yoke tube length is 4-3/4". I don't know what the passenger car length is but it's not 4-3/4".

Joe -

The passenger car yoke is about 3-1/4" to 3-1/2". My last '57 had a pass. car yoke when I got it, and the splines on the output shaft were twisted; I was fortunate to locate an NOS mainshaft to replace it, and an NOS Corvette yoke (which took longer to find than the mainshaft). Photo below is the Corvette yoke.

IMG_3443.jpgThanks Joe and John...on our car, there was historic undercarriage damage to the fiberglass which indicated that at one time, the u-joint to yoke came loose and caused the some damage and the tailshaft was twisted...for that reason the yoke length is suspect...we will pull the drive shaft to check length...here's a pic of the engagment ( inside unknown )...James, Thanks again for pointing out this potential problem.

approximately two inches longer for the Corvette.
