The important part is that the
trans output centerline and the pinion centerline be parallel. The bottom of the housing may be a good reference, but maybe not. its still best to be able to get right on the front slider spline[ such as with an old separate slider] and on the pinion flange face itself. these are the only"sure thing" surfaces. Remember parallel, not necessarily the same line.
