I did quite a bit of research on the t-case before buying. I didn't talk to Joe before buying (except a bit through email to verify model numbers and shipping schedule), but I generally figure that with thousands of models of cars out there with hundreds of transmission variations, your chances of getting an obscure question answered correctly about cross-year compatibility are fairly low (except by someone who has actually done this specific swap, such as on this forum). However, the t-case was as described and well packed and has worked well through several snow storms. If you go with them, just make sure that you understand that the $75 core is above-and-beyond the auction price. This held mine up a week. Oh, and run a tap through the transmission mounting bolt holes before installing -- mine had a fair amount of paint in them and had to take it back off (ugg!) to clean the holes out to get the bolts threaded through.
RE: Taking the yoke end off, you will need a fairly large, non-impact socket to reach it. The clearance between the yoke and the nut is too small for an impact socket, and the nut is on too tight to remove without an impact wrench. Also, I'm not sure whether this yoke is balanced as a set, but better safe than sorry, so make sure to mark the alignment with a paint pen or something before removing from the vehicle.
