Is it an absolute that that you use a trans yoke that says it's for a roller bearing trans? Or is that kinda a gimmick? I would think a normal billet material yoke should be fine in a roller bearing....

Yeah I measured the bearing and it looks like it wants a 1.499" diameter on the yoke....measuring the standard Strange billet one I have I get 1.5005" I would just use my crank polisher and take it down the thou and a half..... I wonder if the "roller bearing" yokes are nitrided or something? The roller bearings have to be crazy harder than the stock tail shaft bushing....

The roller bearing will definitely chew up a yoke that’s meant for a bushing.

That's what I did years ago.. No issues so if it is hardened it was hardened deep enough. Mine was a MW yoke.
