Advanced Building help needed

[Paradoxicc70]

New to scrap mechanic, but not new to building games in general I just simply need some direction... I came across Kan's piston engine for Survival. I made a inline 3 piston engine which works flawlessly, and after immense googling I've came into a roadblock.

I can't seem to get a differential junction from the driveshaft of the piston engine to power the wheels.
When placing the pipes they either collide or do not touch to concert left to right motion from the driveshaft / engine to the wheels for forward or reverse motion. I've applied all my IRL knowledge of cars, and other building games trying to force it to work I'm at a loss...

Can someone link, explain, or shoot me some info on how to get vanilla pipes to work together to make a differential?
I've heard of suspension, and piston glitches but couldn't find information on how to go about using them or if they even apply to my situation.

Thanks for reading.

Yeah i saw his pistion engine but im not sure i can help you cuz i know like nothing about glitches and stuff.soz

Thanks anyways homie, the engine is fairly easy to make I tinkered for an hour and got it running perfectly whilst googling any issues I ran into.

Differential on the other-hand feels like you have to glitch it or something

Use a piston to make a gap in the axle. Then just place two cross pipes next to each other (arrange like gears). You'll also use a piston for placing the rear axles. I put a few examples in the work shop. You can find them by searching for "boxer" and "piston"(I made a boxer engine, It's very smooth but not easy to reverse.)

Thanks homie, it helped. I knew you needed a suspension or piston engine.

future reference for anyone else attempting to mess with it without knowledge. have your car chassis/engine built, use a lift and make a second creation as the rear axle. Measure the width of your car and the EXACT block where the axle would connect to the drive shaft you need to have a piston. Use the weld tool on one of the "Axle blocks to connect to the chassis". Now you just need to use the lift/remove lift and add the links on the pinion gear/Diff.
