Trying to determine whether the inside splines are worn. Difficult to hold 
and measure whether they slip.

Chuck,
The lands do not wear off at the top but rather they wear off at the sides 
until they get so thin that they break off and there's no connection between the 
trainsmission and differential.  The lands on the trainsmission output shaft 
do not seem to wear at all.  It's the lands inside the pinion shaft that get 
all of the wear.  You can tell how much wear they've had by looking inside the 
shaft.  My rule of thumb is if they appear to be half gone the shaft should no 
be used.  If less than half worn the shaft is usable.  IMHO
