mfg Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Although the front universal joint 'slip yoke' was unique to 4 speed equipped Studebaker Avantis, the 'slip yoke' made for the Powershift and the standard 3 speed transmission equipped models was the same part.......True?

r1lark Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 True, at least based on the Avanti parts manual I have. Interesting little thing I noticed, unless the Avanti parts manual I have did not get updated to reflect it, the Avanti did not have the 'Spicer versus Mechanics' type u-joint mess that the Hawks and Larks did in '63/'64. Since I never have had an Avanti, I only know what the parts manual says. Can the Avanti experts confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True is CORRECT!......I've worked on a few Avanti's (originals & ll's) over the years and have never come across one with the 'Mechanics' style u-joints....Which is GOOD!
