  1. Apparently I am wrong. I do not have a 2506 u joint. 2506 does not have bushing and the parts are not interchangeable with b5233. Thanks Harry Reding for this correction.

    One U joint I have has yoke casting number db 161 on transmission yoke. Really can’t read other numbers clearly. I repaired the u joint that came out of car and hopefully will be fine.

    I apologize for the misinformation And confusion, John

  2. So here’s what I found.

    B5057 yoke on B5223 u joint is about 0.400” inch longer than 

    B1507 yoke on B2506 u joint

    all other dimensions on all other parts are the same

    B5233 has steel type bushings

    B2506 has brass type

    i believe you can use the longer yoke on older cars ( tried it and seems to fit, Mark’s  idea).

    you may be able to use older ujoint on newer cars but torque tube shaft would be in ujoint housing 0.400” less. Might or might not cause trouble

    Heres what I did. My older style lock ring and bushing had minor damage so put newer style with original yokes. Seems to have nice tight fit. Going to try and rename thread to 17 ujoint repair info.image.jpg.b59356df09bf07231cae41509725c7ef.jpg
    thanks to all for there help and expertise, John

  3. Thanks for the responses. I compared the u joint from my 17 with alum housing to stamped steel transmission and here is what I noticed

    17 u joint has brass bushing. Later transmission has steel

    bushings. bushing appear to be the same dimension and I think I interchangeable. The only difference I found is one yoke is shorter than other. The 2 universal  housings are totally different. 17 has 7 bolt holes. When I get home will post more details. I think I am going to repair mine.
