    C3 Front Differential Mount & Driveline Angles

    I have installed my differential and am questioning whether this is correct (see picture). There is approximately 1/4 inch clearance between the pinion yoke and the "tongue" on the diff crossmember (it looks like more in the picture). When I reach my hand in the top of the tunnel, I think the pinion could go up 1/2 inch safely. If I back off the nut that compresses the rubber isolators, the 1/4 inch clearance closes up.

    I think I need to get my pinion up more to get the drive angles correct. My motor/trans is pointing down at 4 degrees and the pinion looks like its pointing up about 2 degrees. Looks like if I could get the pinion up about 3/8, they would be equal.

    Is there enough slop in the front mount bracket holes to loosen the bolts and push the pinion up or do I need to shim it? Thanks, Larry

    Looks normal to me - I'd just torque it to 65 ft-lbs. and move on.
