Great work, It took me some years to finally get my33 vib free.
a couple of things that made a BIG difference was to get the front driveshaft roller bearing play down using original sleaves and rollers, the other thing that finally got the drive line vib gone was to fix up the rear mount on the rear of the trans where the torque tube bell goes over and is bolted via 4 fitted bolts,these holes had all worn as well as the bolts allowing the bell to sage down about .030 off centre.
I clocked up the bell using the trans mainshaft and reamed the holes and made new fitted bolts,I did a post on this a while back.
