Drivetrain has been removed and transmission and differential removed from
the engine. Input shaft is definitely for a 3 speed. Obtained a 4 speed
input shaft installed it and reinstalled the differential and transmission.
Yokes turn as intended.
Problem solved.
Thanks to all that offered input and support.
