Got mine installed along with the dual cases last weekend :yupyup: and had to cut a lot of the tranny tunnel out. Not a big deal, but in an effort to save some of the floor support I left just enough to clear the flange on the output shaft of the rear case. I left about half inch of clearence.  Thought it would be enough, but upon driving it for the first time yesterday I found that the tourqe ( what little there is) from the engine make the whole crossmember and skid along with the tranny and cases move up about an inch.  I know that the tranny and such flex's on acceleration but the cross member seems to be pretty flexable, which I don't like!!! So does anyone here run one and are you having the same problem? Have you found a cure for it? I thought about trying to strenghting it with some square tubing on the front and back of the top ( where the case bolts to it) to help control the flexing. Sound like a good idea? Thanks for any help. :beerchug:
