I'm working on a project at home and I'm come to a slight issue with my front drive shaft and the 700R4 pan.

I don't have much room between the two parts, the area in trouble is the right, rear of the transmission (passenger side if you will).

I'm wondering if I can trim and modify my pan for another 1" of clearance?

I'm not well versed in the internals/workings of the 700R4 but based on what I can see on the outside I'm not thinking I can do this.

I'm also going to get a smaller diameter driveshaft when I get one made, but if thats not enough I might have to limit suspension travel a bit.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here's a picture for reference.
