OK, that was a funny "yoke".

The item which mates with a u-joint is called a yoke. The Saginaw does not have a yoke on it for a u-joint connection; it has a splined shaft shrouded by the transmission housing. Maybe more than 1 word is used to precisely define the name of the part I need with yoke being one of the words?

The part I'm talking about will fit between the long section of the driveshaft and the other end will slip over the splined shaft of the Saginaw and into the tranny housing. Having never seen underneath an automobile with a Saginaw tranny I am GUESSING that the part I need will replace the short front end of my driveshaft.
