namz7791 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have read alot of information on pinion angles and JTR covers it in there book when looking up and down. What is the best way when using the JTR kit, chevy 350 w/ T5 and a 77 280 Z 2+2 to align the tailshaft of the tranny to the drive shaft in the left and right direction? I assume that this is as critical as the pinion angle which all the reading indicates it up in down or parallel to the ground. I will be installing my engine next week end and am wondering about the left and right for when I start drilling the holes for the JTR tranny mount. Do you use some form of small square and string to align the centerline of the tranny shaft and differential. As you can see I am confused about this . How did the rest of you get the alignment right? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrus Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Measure of sides, then pull a string to exactly align it. You can see the string in my 2jz post. It was pulled tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
