Re: #473 Trans to ZF Doc
My experience wit the C-Beam is that raising and lowering the rear of the motor makes the C-Beam easier to manage.
For install, tip the rear of the engine down so that you can slide the C-Beam onto the rear of the transmission without interference from the differential. Slide (tap with mallet) the C-beam forward past the normal position on the transmission until it clears the U-Joint yoke on the differential.
Raise the back of the motor until the C-Beam lines up with the differential, than tap it into place.
On some ZR-1's the drive shaft can be removed from the car without disturbing the C-Beam. On some ZR-1's the C-Beam has to be moved aside to get the drive shaft out. I install the drive shaft before bolting the C-Beam in place, just in case.
