ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An output assembly for a transmission range box connected to a vehicle drive shaft is disclosed. The output assembly includes a hollow cylindrical output tube, having internal splines formed on the inner surface thereof, and a yoke shaft, having a solid cylindrical shaft portion with external splines formed on the outer surface thereof. The yoke shaft is connected to the output tube by inserting the male splined shaft portion within the female splined tube. Thus, the yoke shaft rotates with the output tube, while being axially movable relative thereto. Such axial movement is designed to accommodate variations in the physical distance between the range box 10 and the next component of the drive train of the vehicle, such as differential, without having to provide a slip yoke structure on the drive shaft connected to the yoke shaft. A seal may be provided to engage the outer surface of either the output tube or the end yoke.
