4 years ago I got one of those that was off centered to the point of locking the trans when the outer housing (clamshell) was mounted to the rear of the trans. As an additional test I machined a shaft that fit to the i.d. of the splines of each yoke to see if the centerline of each half was concentric and they were way off, The shaft would fit either end but not both.
