Tooch, you have to be kidding me. you know there are hundreds of people with rubis that install 5" long arm kits and give away stock rubi shafts right... a harmnic dampener is like the one you would find on a cam shaft on most B8 engines, it removes any unwanted vibration found in a rotational assembally, hence, improve efficiency, and reduce parastic power loss. on rubi's they installed one on the out put shaft os the tcase to reduce shaft vibrations that might resonate throught the entire drive train. this is only found on teh np 241 rubi case.
From my understanding, they are usless. remove it, get the propper yoke flange and put on the new driveshaft.. or return the shaft to woods, and find a used rubi shaft.
lastly, google could be your friend, now the secret is to make it your friend, search.

The problem with my shaft is that I'm going to have to keep replacing hte ujoints. That's why I'm upgrading to a CV and can't keep going with the rubi shafts. I have less than 2K miles on it and I already have to replace them.
As far as the whole t-case thing goes, I just don't get it. I've seen pictures and read articles, but it just didn't click. I understand the difference between a yoke and a harmonic balancer, but I don't get what a SYE is. Everytime I google it or search for it, I get install and it's necessary for lift kits, but never really why.

tooch...ill try to explain this in the simplest terms possible. 1st...rubi's don't technically have an SYE, but thats another can of worms i don't feel like trying to explain. 2nd...inorder to fit the TW shaft you need to get the yoke pictured earlier. to install said yoke. you remove the 1 1/8" bolt holding the harmonic balancer/plate with 4 bolts as you called it. and then slip the new yoke on. its really very simple. here's a pic of my rear driveshaft...not a 241 but it has the yoke and CV shaft that you need. if you need more help, PM me and ill try to walk you through it.

In order to have a SYE (slip yoke ELIMINATOR) you need to remove the slip yoke ( which comes from the factory) in the first place.
You just have a yoke.

Ok, i get the install, but what exactly is a slip yoke? What's hte difference between a slip yoke and a yoke? I get harmonic balancer and yoke, but what's the slip?

In a vehicle equiped with a slip yoke the transfer case has a splined shaft sticking out the back, the driveshaft has a yoke with a longer female spined piece. This slips over the tcase output and thats a slip yoke. (not bolted on) when you goto a fixed yoke (aka slip yoke eliminator) you ususally get a dual dardian or CV shaft and change the rear driveline angles. The new driveshaft will have a similar "slip" part in it to allow for changes in shaft length during suspention travel.
Hope this helps.

I get the install, I just didn't get the SYE....now it's kind of clear. Either way, just make fun of me now because I'm done asking.
