Pinion angle help.

I thought he said the trans is 1 down, but your reasoning is certainly.............WAIT A MINUTE, no if trans is pointing down, you want the pinion UP..... "We were both typing" LOL

If the trans is 3 down, and you put the pinion 6 down, then if the pinion torques up 3, that will put both angles down, not parallel

if the trans is down 3 degree (example) the pinion should b down 6 degrees so that when u accelerate the pinion "will rise up" about 3 degrees which will then b parallel to the engine/trans driveline. The thing that ur trying to accomplish is to get the eng/trans angle parallel to the pinion angle during acceleration. the pinion always risesup when u hit the gas.
