Now it’s a matter of waiting a half hour, and another engine run up to temp, As much as I talked about leaks, and my attempts to fix them, I decided to fix the one that i’ve had since day 1 at the tail shaft to slip yoke seal. It had always been seeping out at the metal to metal area where the seal slid into. I simply pried the metal lip off the trans enough to create a small gap, then filled that gap with rtv. That is what i’m waiting on to dry.
Once i give it a few more minutes, I’ll lower the tail of the car down to level the car out. ( I had it tipped way nose down so that the trans fluid would run back out of the tail shaft housing)
Once done, I’ll start it, run it up to a operating temp and rev it while data logging and watching the AFR.
Then, i’m gonna shut it off, and unplug the VVT solenoid, and rev it again. Stands to reason, if the VVT solenoid is contributing to this engine vibration, disconnecting it so it can’t advance the cam would be the test to see.
Time to go see.

when they call their transmission "built".
