Anyone had any encounters with this yet??? Just wondering what to expect... Thanks!!
do a search on my name, youll read all about my problems with this

Anyways to clear the driveshaft and shifter, is quite easy. If your having a banging contact when driving the car, you can shim the transmission mount by putting 3/16" worth of washers to drop the tranny mount down, along with a 3/16inch shim under the midshaft as well (if needed) and we had to weld 2 tabs to clear the driveshaft of the exhaust. hope this helps!
