wanted : 3rd member yoke and shifter

  • Hi Brian, I am trying to find out the same info on the the yoke for my Kar.


    Looking at Mustang 64 1/2- 70 Restoration Guide by Tom Corcoran & Earl Davis I think the yoke should be the type 2 listed on page 238 p.n .C3AZ-4851-L with a total yoke length of 5-1/16" which is about 130mm.


    I am awaiting some clarification on this matter myself and will post the results for you if I find out. In Adelaide it is alot harder to find another Kar to look at than in the USA.

    Cheers Zed

  • Hi, the yoke should be part number C3AZ-4851-L with a length of 5-1/16".

    Mustangs V8s are using the 1260 (C3AZ-4635-C front and C3AZ-4635-D rear). Fairlanes also use the 1260 U-joint exclusively.

    Thanks to Bob Mannel for his help

  • Zed, Some of the standard 1965 289 Mustangs used the Ford style (outside clips) U-joints with the numbers you gave of C3AZ 4635 C (front) and C3AZ 4635 D (rear) however most of the standard 1965 289 Mustangs used the mechanics type (inside clips) with numbers of C5DZ 4635 B (front) and C5DZ 4635 A (rear). The Hipo cars all called out for the mechanics type (inside clip) C5DZ U-joints. This is according the 1965/72 Ford Master Parts Catalog. The C5DZ U-joints do fit the C3AZ 4851 L yoke.

  • Hi Fred,thanks for the info. I am not sure how to determine the yoke type I need. I was told the Mustang 64 1/2 -70 Restoration Guide has the right part number but gives the wrong measurement for the U-joint ie 1310 type instead of 1260. Do both types of U-joint fit the same yoke? Your help will be appreciated as I just got a 1310 style yoke/flange in the right length for my Kar. Do I need to keep looking for another yoke?

    Thanks Zed
