Hi All - I have bought a 1936 Chev Pick-up that has XJS rear end and have found that the diff pinion shaft is facing downwards by 5.5 degrees using a magnetic protractor. But when taking measurements from floor to centre of diff and gearbox shafts and working with graph paper and doing the maths, the angle from diff to gearbox works out to +3.6 degrees. Can anyone tell me if Jag diffs do face downwards? If I put the protractor on the rear casing of the diff where the cover fits (no cover is currently fitted), it is -5.5° (ie.tilts downwards). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But you see there is a sticky at the top of this page. Go back and read it then you will know why you most likely won't get any help in this section, the INTRO section.
