This has me scratching my head, feeling in over my head!
My setup: 408w stroker -> speed gems 2" adapter -> 6r80w -> Altas 3.0
I am in the process of fabbing a crossmember to support the 6r80w/Atlas. When clocking the Atlas, I found a potential happy medium degree/angle, shoved some wood wedges to space the Atlas away from rubbing the Frame, and went to work on designing brackets to utilize the factory crossmember holes.
I welded in a cross bar support to the braces I had machined to do the final cut and fit outside the vehicle. Upon inspection, my cross bar is "crooked"! It is offset further back on the passenger side (even though its spaced CCW, if I remove the spacers, the stagger will get worse I think). The transmission mount is nearly 1" staggered in relation to the frame.
This has been stumped, not sure which way to turn. Do I roll with it and finish building the crossmember (it looks absolutely ridiculous not being square!) ? Will the angled output shaft (not parallel with rear axle u-joint) cause me issues?
