Too Much Pinion?

A lot of times people get on here askin for help and then say something like "the car's not here right now" or "I caint get to it till next week" or some such.....and it's all good, but I think sometimes when that happens, we kinda get antsy. Everybody wants instant gratification. lol
In my opinion, somehow you've ended up with the pinion angle WAY low and that's puttin at least that rear u-joint into a bind. The pinion and transmission output shaft center lines are supposed to be parallel and I cannot see anyway in the world how the transmission output shaft can be parallel with the pinion. It's just too far down.

Good luck with it and keep us posted.
