ok, i just installed my new TKO... all over the instructions, it mentions how vibration is bad. i did not use a dial indicator durring install... if i have vibration, will it be significatly noticable?? cause when i hold my shifter knob, it does vibrate a tad bit. but, i think my 3650 did the same thing . i guess what im asking is, if it does vibrate in a bad way, will the whole car vibrate or just slightly vibrate in the shifter?? im scared to drive it...

It will vibrate a little. You will know for sure when you have a BAD vibration.

unbolt the driveshaft, turn it 180 degrees, and bolt it up again.

edit: is the driveshaft the correct length?

well, the FRPP tech guy told me i wouldnt need a spacer or anything. but the yoke does not go in the new TKO as far as it went in the stock 3650. but the yoke is in the TKO at least 3 inches, so i think that is sufficient. i will try that 180 degree thing.. thanks

the driveshaft may be out of balance, so as stated try rotating it. But if your car is vibrating at idle, there may be something else at work here. Out of curiosity, is the trans filled to spec with the correct fluid?
