Default tko guys come in please 3days awake I need help

I recently put a tko in my 95
Omg I been up 3 days now.I just cant get this thing right.

If this is normal than i dont know....

OK
I went from having a 1 1/4 in trans mount spacer with severe vibrations on low loads thru all gears.
droped it doen to 1/2 inch and it almost stopped that problem.

I removed the driveshaft and ran it w/the yolk. IT SPINS SILENTLY THRU EVERYGEAR!
I changed the u joints and clocked the d/s

Then noticed the tailshaft is cocked 1/2 inch to right,i modifeid the x memeber again
Then droped the spacer on the x member to 1/4 inch

I got caried away and went another 1/4 toward drivers side on the x member holes and it made it worse again.

I get alot of vibration in the low torque area but it smoothes out in the higher rpms
isometimes i hear a clunking sound fro m the tailshaft

the tailshaft is tight.no up/down or side to side play w/out yolk

IM thinking to use an angle finder on the pinion and output shaft to get it under 5degrees so im sure the tail and pinion are at least properly aligned..and thats gonna be done while the suspension is loaded.

i found someones post about the literature u get when buying a new tko



this is it:
where it says transmission gear rattle etc its confusing me....
Documentation:
Unfortunately, TREMEC doesn't ship much of anything in regards to documentation about the transmission. I hoped to see a booklet or something to document the various sensors, rubber plugs, parts list, schematic, output size, etc. There was a small sheet of paper which indicated what fluid to use and how much.

Here's the information that I received with the transmission:


Oil Recommended: GM Synchromesh, GM part number 12345349 (3 quarts). Optional fluids are Dexron II E and Mercon Synthetic.

Clutch: In order to maintain correct clutch adjustments, an adjustable clutch cable/quadrant kit is recommended. This will prevent hard shifting, gear clash, and premature wear of the synchronizer rings.

Transmission gear rattle may be heard under heavy loads at low speed, during cancellation, in neutral, and sometimes under wide open throttle.

Mis-calibration of the clutch-driven plate or the crankshaft balancer may be the cause. Usually, no cost-effective correction is available.

Shift Lever: Backward installation will give you an awkward, long reach.

If the upper shift lever is installed without the rubber isolator or with a modified shifter lever, the transmission will sound very noisy.

Use of any aftermarket shifter may result in gear noise or gear failure.
