So, na=>t2... diff mount?
Ok, so I just my s5 t2 motor tranny and everything. Installed everything. I am looking for a driveshaft, but that isnt my question here. What I really want to know is what would happen if I weld the diff mount and everything together? B/c before I did this my diff mount was noticably bad, and I was planning on replacing it, I even bought a new mount already. But, my uncle and I had an arguement and he wont let me come in his shop anymore so I have no where to drop the rear assembly and the local shops are charging too much for this simple issue. Any ideas.

Rebuilding the 7
Somewhere on the forum there was talk about possibly cracking the diff housing if you welded the diff mount to make it solid. I personally would like to try this because I've ripped 3 of these damn things and hate replacing them. As far as doing this without a lift, it is possible but will take you 3x the time and energy.

Yea... I am gonna try and do it w/o a lift. I am gonna go out and buy another jack to try and make it easier... The last time that I changed the diff mount on a 7, I did in autoshop w/ a lift and it was a pain then. I really cant see myself doing it alone w/o a lift.... but I will see...

you could try to park somewhere that gives you extra clearance.....or if its easy for you dig a bit of a ditch in the ground or something. anything to get some more space to work with.
