OK, so I'm trying to get the trans mount buttoned up. I'm using an S10 tail shaft, and got the hybrid mount from Mike Fortes, and this is an IRS car.
First off I've got about 1-1/2" of the drive shaft exposed where it slides into the tail of the trans. Is that too much? Should the drive shaft be longer? Not sure what I should have at this point.
Second thing is, with the A frame in place under the trans, the bolt holes on the trans mount don't even come close to matching up to the slots/holes in the A frame. The trans is favoring the passenger side by quite a bit. Again, not sure how much is too much, and how to align the bolts with the slots/holes.
One last thing. When I installed the engine/trans, the tail shaft sat on the 4" cross tube. I jacked the trans up to clear the cross tube, but again, I'm not sure how much clearance I need at this point. Obviously, the more clearance I create, the thicker the spacers will need to be between the trans mount and the A frame.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
