The drive shaft angle is pretty steep on the back of the M1078 ( and all the others) What do you think about shimming the axle under the springs 1/2" to 0". This would turn the axle a little to face the drive shaft with a little bit less of an angle. Thoughts?

Been thinking it would be a good idea to replace the coolant / transmission fluid heat ex-changer out of my M1078 to an air cooled unit like in the M1088 and M1083's. It seems the possibility of coolant eventually getting into the transmission via the heat ex-changer is a good reason to...
