UPDATE...clunk after lowering.

So the culprit to my clunk on the 1-2 shifting & medium accel on taking of was due to pinion angle. My pinion was pointing up at 6 degrees after dropping to a 4.5/6 stance...today I put some 6 degree shims in & ended up with 1 degree still pointing up...drove it around for a while & not one clunk !

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"
