Need more information... what is the current angle of the transmission, driveshaft, and pinion?

It should be equal to the angle of the transmission, but no less than 1deg operating angle with the driveshaft.

You will get some vibration if you don't have at least 1deg of operating angle. 2-3deg is preferred.
