madkaw Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Great news! Gives me some incentive to lower mine that last 1/2" also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I should probably fix this the right way by adjusting the nose back up instead of dropping the back artificially. But at least now I know. What I like about the aftermarket diffy mounts is they make it easier to remove the driveshaft. Not sure why that matters. How often do we remove it anyway. I just couldn't stand that leather-daddy strapon arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Start swapping diffs and burning up clutches and you'll be dropping that driveshaft several times a year. Plus, I make a habit of re-tightening my driveshaft and axle bolts after every trip to the track. Anything that makes removing it easier is well worth the initial trouble. I just wish there was a good way to get a torque wrench on the bolts. I LOVE my RT mount. I think the way you lowered the rear of the diff was genius: the easy solution is usually the best! Congrats. I wonder what grunts and grumbles will be uncovered when I finally put a muffler on my beast-I may be copying your fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmendez72 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 First post here all. I joined at around 3am the other night when duragg's original beginning of this thread was *exactly* what I am suffering from. I read every post with anticipation (like a mystery novel) and was very happy to see the issue was resolved. I've ordered a digital angle finder and am going to measure my u-joint angles ASAP. Would proper forum etiquette support me posting any further questions I might have and/or my results here (for future vibe sufferers)?

jhm Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 TREMEC has a cool little app for your smartphone that might help -- under the name "Tool Box", IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmendez72 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 That's a cool Tremec app. I bought a nice compact digital angle finder I'm going to use. I'll post some pics after I've taken my measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll love the new digital angle finders, so much easier to use than the old swinging pointer dials. You brought the thread back from the grave so it's all yours now and as you have found it is so nice to find a thread that answers questions and the results have been confirmed by more than person. The archives of Hybridz are priceless. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
