Hi Warren - my U-joint has worn, and as I have the 260 drive shaft already thought I would just bolt it in. I don't think replacing just the universal joint is possible? (I could be wrong) - although I did read somewhere they can be rebuilt. In anycase visiting the local wrecking yards will likely be my first plan and hope to find a good one. Otherwise buying a rebuilt somewhere (ideas?) and sending mine back for the core. Thanks.

Jim - thanks for this. I did notice that while hunting for hanger bearings and flex discs the part numbers are not the same (sadly) 260 vs 300. I did think about putting the 260 trans. into the 300 as mine has a leak but once mine is out I would probably just fix it instead.
