I just bolted up my new tranny to the block. My drive shaft is extendable. I've made it as short as I can but it is too long. There is a nut on top of the differential where the drive shaft bolts to it with 4 bolts. This bolt is what is catching my drive shaft. I only need about a centimeter more room to get it on. I figure there is 3 ways to do this.
1. Cut and weld a shorter shaft
2. Grind down the nut a little bit
3. Jack up the rear end and pull the entire axle back
I do not have access to a welder. If anyone has any ideas to make this work. Please let me know. My truck is so close to moving again and I know it misses the road.
Also let me know if pictures would be helpful
