Hello Ken,

I have not seen this problem, but it makes me think that you should check for a missing spacer on the transmission bracket.  There is supposed to be a spacer, approximately 3/8" thick, between the bracket (which suspends the transmission from the front transaxle mounts) and the right side of the transmission. I believe that this spacer is on the 1/2" bolt on that side--the other side has two 3/8" bolts. There should also be shims installed between the bracket and transmission to set the forward/aft position of the entire powertrain.  This adjustment sets the toe-in for the rear suspension alignment.  Please make sure that these parts are in place.
