Pinion angle question.

oldkimmer said

According to ur measurements the pinion is already up 2* compared to the tranny. Or should I say the tranny is lower than the pinion by 2*. When the pinion goes up let’s say 2* u r now up 4* instead of even to the trans. Kim

Here’s a rough sketch of what I’m talkin bout. Sitting still the rear of my trans is pointing 3* down and the front of my pinion yoke is pointing 1* down. Now if it makes any difference, the driveshaft goes down from the tail housing to the differential at 1* as well.
Then as you can see in the lower part of my chicken scratchings, if the yoke of the differential rises 4* under acceleration, it would then be 3* up to match the 3* down of the tail housing.
