-1983 AOD made up from three different transmissions and a couple new parts, including 2000 RPM stall B&M TorkMaster convertor
-Driveshaft 'presumed' to be from a box Ford or Mercury (2 3/8" shorter than the driveshaft that came out of the Lincoln, believed to be about 1" too long and probably an incorrect part to begin with)
-Only thing original and untouched in the driveline is the rear axle, that's a Y-code
FWIW, my output shaft had at an estimated 1/4" of lateral play with the driveshaft and extension housing seal removed. Definitely bad bushing, which explains the vibration.
Good luck sorting your balance issues.
