Re: TKO guys I need help!

Well i installed an adjustable pivot ball and basically ran it out as far as it would go and assembled it with a generous amount of red lock tight. Got the trans back together and low and behold it all seems to work...

i guess thats good news. how many threads are engaged on the pivot ball? i wonder if a longer TO bearing or something would also work here? Like i mentioned before i have my pivot ball out pretty far as well and have not had any issues since i installed it back in 07 or so

Re: TKO guys I need help!

I was wondering the same thing, however I bought my compelte setup off of someone from a running driving car, crossing my fingers that everything works just fine.
