Re: IML: plates on the trans mount

 If you have an angle finder, use it to determine the angle of the transmission output shaft/front yoke of the drive shaft, and the pinion angle of the differential. The two angles must be parallel to each other (i.e; the same angle). If they are not, you can change the angle of the transmission output shaft with those shims.

Subject: Re: IML: plates on the trans mount

My friend - who has 1962 custom coupe - is also working with the transmission and he told me that he had also same kind of shim-plates between the transmission and transmission rubber mount. I'm sure that they were used to chance the driveshaft angle, so I placed them back like they were before.

Any chance those little plates on the trans mount were used as shims to
change a driveshaft angle? The FSM shows shims on the center bearing
support but I dont recall seeing any on my 62 or on the two 63's that I
have owned. There is quite a bit of text in the service manual regarding
the indexing and the anglularity of the prop shaft, maybe someone in the
past had tried to correct a problem.
