That's easy. Take the front u-joint apart and leave the yoke in the trans.
Make sure it's in there good so it doesn't slide out. I had one for the
mustang (for a tremec 5 speed) that I cut the u-part off of the yoke so it
was just a collar - it worked GREAT for helping to pinpoint driveline
vibration problems.

If there are missing bits, the best way to find out is to pull the trans pan
and look in the bottom.
