Toyota Tacoma Driveshaft Slip Yoke 37302-35050

This is an aftermarket driveshaft slip yoke that replaces Toyota part number 37302-35050. Compare it with the number on your old part or the parts catalog for your VIN before ordering, since Toyota used different yokes across drivetrains.

Listed fitment: 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma (2.4L, 2.7L, 3.4L), 1991-2006 4Runner (2.4L through 4.7L), 1991-1995 Pickup (2.4L, 3.0L), 1993-1998 T100 (2.7L, 3.0L, 3.4L), 1995-1997 Land Cruiser (4.5L), 2004-2005 Sequoia (4.7L) and 2004-2005 Tundra (3.4L, 4.0L, 4.7L).

Why it gets replaced: the slip yoke lets the driveshaft change length as the suspension moves. Its polished shank rides in the output seal, so a pitted or rusted shank chews up the seal and leaks gear oil or ATF. Worn splines or a dry spline section show up as a clunk on takeoff or a shudder under load. A damaged yoke can also cause a driveline vibration that changes with speed.

On the bench: mark the driveshaft so it goes back in phase, remove the shaft, and press out the U-joint from the old yoke. Install a new U-joint in the new yoke, grease the splines, and put in a new output seal while the shaft is out. Slide the yoke in gently so the seal lip does not roll, bolt the shaft back up, and top off the fluid.
