I am not entirely sure as long as the spline count is the same the yolks would not be a problem but what you are than likely to run into is the drveshaft length is most likely going to be different.

A c6 is longer than the 4 speed isn't it? That would make the driveshaft length shorter?

In other words I'm not sure but i believe a C6 is longer thank the 4 speed trans.

The shafts are different lengths, by approx. 3", the np435 shaft is roughly 25" and the c6 shaft roughly 22".
