Re: Pinion angle

IMHO I find the tremec phone app comes up with different #'s each time. More because the phone case (better to use it without a case) you have to hold STEADY against the point you measure. A $5 magnetic analogue angle finder, for me, is more stable and "hands free" so the needle settles for an accurate reading. One option for getting trans tail angle is hold the angle finder against the flat front of damper as it is dead nits the same angle as engine/trans

Lowered truck often needs an angled shim on rear end to get DL angles back "within" spec and also flat shims between trans and rear mount. This is where using an angle finder tells you wtf "your" angles are and which direction the tail of trans needs to move and rear pinon
