Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
I have checked and there is in fact only 2mm clearance with the cross member at the widest point of the UJ on my car.
However I have original engine mountings and this affects it. I intend to replace these one day but it is a very difficult job - almost an engine out !
If you are absolutely certain that the gearbox is correctly aligned maybe you could raise the rear engine mountings fractionally and then realign the gearbox. This may give you enough clearance - after all the engine may not be level anyway !
