To the factory tunnel brace.

Or you could install our trans Crossmember which is designed to adjust the PPF to the proper height.

It's funny you say that because I have it already just didn't know if there was a mark or something on the oem brace to measure against.

With the banzai trans crossmember, the gap check is built in. Just bolt it up and it'll hold the trans in the right spot. If you have an oil pan brace, the gap might be a little higher than anticipated as well.

Aftermarket motor mounts? Oil pan brace?

Yeah both and stiffer diff mount bushings. Is it normal for the diff to be sloping downward. With the car on stands?

I can push the rear of the transmission over to get the shifter to line up but I guess I'm just curious if this is normal behavior.

Here's my experience with xcessive mounts

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...nment-1085345/

A steel driver side arm has different dimensions than the stock AL arm. Think that throws off some of the aftermarket mounts that might be designed for the AL arm

And the differential will droop if the driveshaft is not connected to it and the transmission

Yeah that post you linked there has the same symptoms. My engine mounts are irperformance and I believe they are for steel arms which is what I have. I didn't do the diff level .. but seeing as sloped down it is I don't know how I would be able to .. unless I put the level on the wrong place.

Call IRP on the mounts. You may need a different size like I did

Regarding the diff, is it connected to the driveshaft and trans. It may help to post pics
