side to side not being centered shouldn't make any difference. u said 3 degrees. the pinion should b 3 degrees down from the trans/eng angle. if ur engine driveline in 3 degrees down the the pinion should b 6 degrees down.
I thought he said the trans is 1 down, but your reasoning is certainly.............WAIT A MINUTE, no if trans is pointing down, you want the pinion UP..... "We were both typing" LOL
If the trans is 3 down, and you put the pinion 6 down, then if the pinion torques up 3, that will put both angles down, not parallel
