How much should a driveshaft stick out of a transmission?

CC: How much should the front yoke of a driveshaft engage the output shaft of the transmission?

This is the correct amount of spline contact for the slip yoke.

How do you measure a slip yoke?

A – Distance from the center of the front U-joint to the center of the rear U-joint. Take this U-joint center-to-center measurement with the slip yoke in its operating position. The slip yoke operating position is typically determined by pulling the slip yoke out of the transmission 1” after it’s fully bottomed out.

When the drive shaft is properly installed, the length of the yoke should just allow you to move it forward into the transmission to allow removal of the rear U-joint from the rear end. So 1.5 inches sounds quite a bit shallow, and could put some extreme amount of force on the rear transmission seal and the front U-joint.
