Abstract
A plug closes the end bore of a slip yoke. A plurality of teeth are cast into a counterbore formed at an end of the slip yoke. The rigid plug snaps behind the teeth to be retained within the counterbore. The teeth are circumferentially spaced and may be formed when the slip yoke is cast. The rigid plug has an edge that extends radially outwardly to engage an inner peripheral surface of the counterbore and retain the plug. The teeth prevent movement of the plug outwardly of the bore.
