[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16632160, member: 70025"] Hello geoffmt! Thank you for your positive feedback sir! I'm not sure if you will need to measure for bellhousing center. They say this is needed when you are putting a newer manual transmission in an older car. They say the older transmissions had a round input shaft bearing and could tolerate side load. The newer transmissions have a conical bearing and they cannot tolerate side load. So, if you are not changing anything you should not have to check for bellhousing alignment in a newer car from my understanding. Now, if you change your transmission or go from a stock bellhousing to say a Quicktime bellhousing then it might be a good idea to check it. If you do decide to do this my only recommendation is to get a very good dial indicator holder. I bought a cheapy one and it moved a lot on me. And you know when you are talking about measuring a thousand of an inch any movement is not acceptable. So, I had to modify mine to get it to not move. After that the process went smoothly. [/QUOTE]
