Let’s see if I can make this not too long
I put a 42RH transmission in while building my project. I have Hotchkis springs in the rear, and currently have them on the factory hangers. The driveshaft runs “uphill” from the transmission to the differential, A little over 1°.
Using the TREMEC app, I can’t get myself in the green on the first angle ((trans to Driveshaft). I have spacers under the transmission mount to push it up as far as I can, anymore and I’m hitting the floor. I am at 3.3° here. (guess I should have made more clearance when I was banging sheet-metal)
The driveshaft to differential angle is in the green at 2.8, and the overall operating angle is in the green at .5
The differential is currently not parallel, (or equal but opposite) the transmission, but if I point it up more, it will make the first angle even further out.
I think I’m fine with that part, because my understanding is that a lot of people point the differential down 2° from the transmission anyway to account for axle wrap, though this will primarily be a street car.
At a 3.3° angle, do y’all think it’s close enough to send it, or am I asking for problems?
