Lewma's Gen3 Coupe Almost Built Thread

Question for you Mark,

Do you happen to recall what your drivetrain angles were? And if you needed to adjust anything to get the crankshaft and pinion angles parallel? Like transmission mount shims, etc

My IRS diff/pinion is pointing downward 0.5 degrees (I guess this isn't common), while the crank/trans shaft is also pointed down (but in opposite direction, obviously) so I'm nowhere close to being parallel. If I add shims to the trans mount then my driveshaft angles gets crazy large since the trans is already higher than the diff.

Thought I'd ask since you have the same package as me. No worries if you don't recall.

Jim, I had the same issue on mine. I ended up molding custom bushings for mine. Now it points up at 0.5 degs from the ground. If you are interested I can see what it would take to make another set. I had some help from the shop at the office.

I appreciate it Brent, but I've decided to just run with what I've got.

I REALLY don't want to take the diff out, haha

I feel your pain on that one. I think mine was in and out 5 times. None were easy.
