That makes sence Dave, it isn't a very good idea though. It brings us back to the stabilizer not being fitted at the factory....there is nothing to hold the back of the transmission in place under load.

I'm going to go through this whole alignment process from front to back and top to bottom until I get it right. I'll use the fishing line method that I've just read about. It's probably more accurate. We'll see.

Thanks Robert and Dave for your help.

Brian.
