Re: Transmission angle help

everything has been said except,

the added angle doesnt have to be in the xy plane. most rear differentials have the pinion offset so it doesnt point straight at the trans and the u joint working angle is found here.

most chevrolets use a 4 degree down at the trans, so they need a 4 degree up at the diff. this is also why your trans empties itself completely when you pull the yoke. (not really, just YOKEing around)
