Working on @PlenumBiscuit car today we got all the ECU & TCM sorted out to the correct year and calibrations although he did forget his second key so we could not program his keys
Engine runs great and no DTC's or misfires going up and down steep hill in 38C temperature and transmission show no pressure or heat problems and no DTC's either. In fact you could not fault it and we collected data and found nothing out of the ordinary which would be a good thing except for this slight shudder/vibration when car under load going uphill but it's not the engine or transmission it is more mechanical if that makes sense.
Now @PlenumBiscuit did notice when he was under the car that the rubber for the centre bearing was sagging a bit but it was still in one piece and it's possible/probable that it is the original tailshaft from the original LLT engine and 0BRA transmission that has done over 300k.
Somewhere in the back of my head I have this nagging thought that the transmissions and tailshafts were marked at the factory for assembly so they balanced correctly although this could all be a dream in my head.
I seem to remember a TSB to the dealers about vibration and turning the tailshaft 90 degrees to help stop the vibration.
Anyone confirm what the centre bearing rubber should look like with car parked or know more about the balance/vibration on these tailshaft as would be handy to know and might help him out as he lives in the hills and it is driving him mad.
