You gotta have your case hogged out for the bigger bearing for the female input as well. I bought a LoMax kit cause I didnt have room for a doubler cause Im using a late model long shaft SM465 with a 32 spline input gear on the 205. I wouldve had a 2 foot rear driveshaft. You might try the LoMax kit from JB conversions. Its 1200 bones but I love mine. Money well spent. Its 3:1 instead of 4:1 but with a K5 wheel base you dont have alot of options

You need to take your yoke and drive shaft to the parts store if your not familiar with U-joint sizes. It could be a 1310 , 1330 , or a 1350 series joint on either end. Did you try the other yoke? Yes a slip yoke will pull out of the case and a fixed yoke is fastened to the rear output shaft with a nut. I run 85/140 in mine, any kind of gear dope will work just fine. You can run mud and water in a 205 and it still perform. They are bulletproof. If it were me I would just buy a yoke for the back of the 205 so that If you have a breakdown you can go anywhere and get a joint and dont have to pay 26 bucks for one. My 2 pennys
