Exclamation Re: A Starter Predicament

If some of you are shifting the location of the transaxles and consequently the location of the output flanges up or down from the 'ideal' position the halfshafts are going to plunge in the CV joint or splines a greater amount than normal and possibly have the same problem of failing the circlips etc as the guys on the FFCobra forum. This halfshaft alignment is critical and should be one of if not the primary consideration when mounting the engine/transaxle unit. Might not show up until later when you do a wheel alignment and increase rear track slightly to get correct settings.
