When mounting my 5 speed DX trans in my '88, I used the same mounting
holes on the frame as the WBX 4 speed which came out, at the nose cone
end. Now that I've hooked up the CVs, it appears I need to use the 4 holes
about 1.5" to the left (driver side) in the frame cross member, since the
driver side CVs are fully extended, and the pass side are not. I've dropped
the nose onto a jack, and am trying to coax it over, but it doesn't want to
move more than 1/2" of so.
I'm assuming moving the nose is the only way I'm going to fix the CV
alignment issue, but before I hook up the hoist and loosen all the mounts
so I can move it over, can someone please confirm that I need to use the
driver side set of 4 holes for a 5 speed?
Thanks!
