3-55-36 Splined Sleeve , Fits 3.000 x 0.083 , Splines 1.562×16 , Butt Diameter: 2.844 , End To Weld: 6.125″

3-55-36 Splined Sleeve — Multiple Series

The 3-55-36 is a steel splined sleeve designed to fit a 3.000-inch OD x 0.083-inch wall driveshaft tube. The spline bore is 1.562-inch diameter with 16 splines, the butt diameter is 2.844 inches, and the end-to-weld dimension is 6.125 inches. This sleeve is used in driveshaft assemblies where a splined connection is required between the tube and a slip yoke or yoke, providing the sliding interface for axial plunge.

When fitting the 3-55-36, verify the driveshaft tube OD is 3.000 inches with a 0.083-inch wall. The 2.844-inch butt diameter pilots into the tube bore; confirm the tube cut is square and concentric before welding. The 6.125-inch end-to-weld dimension defines the overall length of the sleeve within the driveshaft assembly — include this in total driveshaft length calculations.

The 3-55-36 spline specification of 1.562 inches at 16 splines must match the mating male spline on the slip yoke or stub shaft that engages this sleeve. The multiple-series designation means this sleeve is not restricted to a single U-joint series; verify U-joint series compatibility at the adjacent yoke end. Confirm spline count and diameter before assembly.
