Bill; When I originally set everything up, I thought I had this right. I have the small plastic gauge that Summit sells. I need to take a harder look at this again, but some have said that the vehicle needs to be level, and that's the challenge. Am I correct that it doesn't matter if the truck is level as long as both are showing the same angle. Also, can I use the motor as the reference point for the transmission output shaft ?

They can of course be offset, but the input and output shafts must be parallel to each other. You get vibration otherwise. Is the input shaft parallel to the output shaft? Bill D.
