700r4 installation help
I have an 82 CE and the original 27 spline 700r4 finally gave up. I had a later 1989 700R4 from another project in the garage. I dropped the old one installed new seals on the late model 700r4 and installed. When I went to install the crossmember I realized it was 5-1/5 off the transmission mount. It's level just 5-1/4 back too far. Anybody have any solutions. Please keep in mind I'm no welder..
I knew it was going all too smooth.
Thank you in advance

I was just thinking about swapping the tail shaft housing. It's already in the car and reinstalling with the drive shaft was a real pain in the a$$. I really don't want to pull out again.

I just realized I'm a complete knucklehead. When I put the tranny back in I had the drive shaft in the tailshaft and I balanced the whole assembly and raised the tranny and driveshaft up into position. Not once did I ever consider unbolting the front of the drive shaft from the front yoke. DUH. Can't believe I did that I was so he'll bent on getting it in the oblivious was right in front of me.
Now of course I can swap the tailshaft and do the job properly.
