slip yoke roller
One of the rollers on my slip yoke is coming apart. What is that piece actually called? There is the T and at both ends of the T are the silver roller bearings? Can I just replace that sliver roller or do I have to get an entire assembly? Any suggestions where to get the part?

Sounds to me like you need a new U-joint. That would be the case if the 'T' you are talking about is more like a cross. And the ends of the cross go into a cup. And the cup is lined with needle bearings.
Besides...the new one will be greaseable.

If it does, it's called a universal joint or U-joint

Its starting to clunk shifting in the high gears and reverse. No squeaks though. I looked up u-joints online but there was no specific one for the middle u-joint that connects the slip yoke. There is either front or rear. Is the rear u-joint the same size as the middle one on the drive shaft?

Thay should be the same IIRC.
Make sure to specify that w/ the parts people.
( I would replace all 3 of them if it were mine)
Also mark the slip shaft and spline shaft for proper assembly.
I don't remember if it will only go one way or not.Some do some don't.
You definately don't want to get them out of phase.
