Don't really like the angle it puts on the drivline CV Joint and while accelerating the driveline is rough and vibrates. Has anybody else with 5-speed swaps had these problems and have and suggestions for fixes.
Never heard of the CEL or Airbag light issue before, but my write up tells how to make the cruise control to work.(click in my sig)

The spacer shouldn't change the angle of the driveshaft, so you must have gotten the tranny mount too high or too low to change the angle, as the spacer only moves the drive shaft forward 2", it doesn't move it up or down, so it can't change the angle.

Hope you get it all lined out soon.
