I could not get close to the 1.77" on the top. Maybe an inch. I checked before I took everything apart though and that's about what was there. the side was fine.

I can really tell the difference, the arse no longer kicks to the right when I grab second gear. Very noticable difference.

Sorry, I did not see the rest of this thread. There is a post years ago where I told the story of my shifter lifting 2 inches when I would jump on it. I thought the C beam might be loose, so I took it to the dealer where they put it up on a lift and tightened the bejesus out of all the C beam bolts. A few months later my trans seized. Coincidence? I think not. Very expensive lesson. As Jeff said, I think the tail piece distorts, seal doesn't seal, and viola, no lubrication!
