Re: Pinion angle
the transmission is 2 degrees up, the driveshaft is not of this world anymore, and the pinion is 2 degrees down , as measured off the tailhousing flange and pinion yoke with car sitting at ride height on a level floor.
I should note I did have the pinion angle measured wrong and have since readjusted it, the pinion was at 4 degrees down at the time of carnage

Re: Pinion angle
Dion make sure to check the upper control arm cross member for stress cracks, particularly at each side that attach to the main frame!

Re: Pinion angle
Yes Greg I have and all mounting points look a-ok, it would seem my failure of driveshafts would be that I am(was) using a stock piece and it started whipping in third gear. ordered a m/w chromemoly shaft with 1350 yokes which is good to 8500 rpm hopefully problem solved! thanks for all the suggestions and clarifications they have been really helpful!
