has he Drain and check trans fluid??
Guess what Im getting at is in my little comutter car the Torque Converter went bad and cause Vibration especialy in gear stopped and Lower RPMs
It would also Drag the Idel Down(RPM) with it sitting there say at a light or stop sign when in gear at a Stop
Bad Torque converter will put metal shavings in the trans fluid
Mine acted up close to home so I drove it 1 matbe 2 miles to get home and then fixed it so I didnt get much metal if any in the trans fluid
Never heard of a Trans alignment
All I have worked on Once the BellHousing was bolted Tight to the Back the engine its Good
So if you get playing with it and you see some adjustment or something that would align it I would Love to see a Pic of it if you can if not dont worrey about it
Talk to ya soon!!

Benny, There is no adjustment , that I can see , but when starting the hole motor Mount and tranny mount , looks like a fish out of water a lot of movement, I can see what would aper to vibration when at idol because of the mounts, theres 2 bolts a blueish color cap then from under the truck a ball looking thing with a bolt off the frame
when truck starts and shuts down the whole motor and trans assembly rocks and rolls, I snaped some pics but dont know how to load into fte also via my cell phone so I could tex send them if needed.
