modify you tranny pan? Can't think of any other options. This is why most people use the $50 spacer instead of the AA shaft. Tiny CV or u-joints will work, but any kind of real (1350) cv will prolly end up having issues with the trannys pan. Not 100% sure why AA doesn't tell everyone this when they buy the shaft...

I have an idea put a 203 range box infront of the 205 and you will have plenty of pan clearance .

I made the same mistake years ago. I should have used the cheap spacer too. I had to pull my pan and have a fabricator modify it. The problem is, some year 700r4's have an accumulator in that corner of the valvebody and you can only can a small amount of room. It's enough to run a stock driveshaft but nothing larger.

just posted about the same issue !

I am in the process of the same conversion check the post from oldblue70 (me) in the garage for the webb site to order the better & cheaper adaptor
as for advance adaptor I am very aggitated about the fact they did not inform me of issues I was told there would be no problems! but I guess there in buisness to make money but would also think that some times free advice would make future sales possible!!!

maybe through this forum advance adapt will get some free advice on return customers!!!
which if at all possible I will not be
