My trans points 3.5* down and I have my pinion pointing 3.5* up and she's smooth as butter...
I'm now sitting about 2.5* +/- 0.5* transmission down and pinion up now. I'm still a little concerned about the delta at each joint but it doesn't seem to be affecting anything now that I've got the vibration fixed. Thank you, Lance.
