• Will I have to rebalance the drive shaft after installing the new slip yoke or shortening of the driveshaft.
  
  It is highly recommended, as the parts are not always balanced. It is best to shorten the driveshaft from the back half rather then from the front. Any good driveshaft shop will be able to make these changes.

• Do I need to replace my drive shaft slip yoke when installing a T-5 or Tremec?
  
  Both T-5 and Tremec 3550/II use a 28 spline yoke which is the same as a C4 and toploader. T-10 transmissions used 25 spline slip yoke. Tremec TKO come with a new 31 spline slip yoke in the box ready to be installed.

• Will a early stock starter work with a T-5 or Tremec bellhousing?
  
  Yes it will. A late model starter can also be used. They are smaller and have higher torque.
