I didn't think that the U-joints were detachable. I guess I will just have to check. If the U-joints are the same, then the insertion should be easy.

That doesn't make sense, wouldn't you mean if the yolk can fit the T2 gearbox?

The u-joints have nothing to do with it fitting in the tranny. The yolk and the flange is what you're looking at. And yes, the automatic yolk fits perfectly in a T2 transmission, the u-joints aren't going to matter because the u-joints aren't what connect the transmission to the driveshaft, it's the yolk.
