For background, I have read most of the info posted here for pinion angle requirements so many times i think I have them memorized!

The problem seems to be my specific rear end mounting. It cannot be set higher than minus 1 degree (down). The transmission output shaft is also at negative 1 degree (down). I know this match is not good and out of limits according to everything I have read. Problem is, the "banana" bar is already set 1/16th inch away from the panhard brace, it cannot be set any further back (thus raising the Pinion angle). In addition, I have already shimmed up the transmission about an inch which is the length of the supplied bolts. I am hesitant to raise it too high and cause other unanticipated problems elsewhere. Will be in contact with FFR but wanted to see if others have had this problem and how they solved it. Thanks.
