Low and behold, the whole drive shaft dropped down about 3 inches. Then I easily just popped the bushing onto the end of the rod.
Another quibble with the trans support instructions, there are 9 bolts to remove not 7 as stated.

Anyways, there is definitely more gear whine but not really any more vibration.

Both things have been noted and fixed in our instructions! Thank you for bringing both things to our attention!
