Very Helpful Keith and thanks. However, the service manual in the attachment is for a one piece drive shaft and mine is a two. Does that make a difference in the calculations?
Also, I am concerned about the angle between the end of the transmission and the carrier bearing at the end of the first shaft. The carrier bearing carriage can be adjusted up or down depending on which bolt holes are used. Any thoughts?.
