Trans vibration or no?

Well, like I asked. When you checked it, was it top dead center on the compression stroke?

If not, that would account for it being off.

I didn't have the #1 plug out when I checked this morning before work. Only eyed the rotor positioning relative to #1 plug to get a rough idea and timing mark was not close to TDC on the indicator on timing cover. I will pull the plug and check the "correct way" when I get home in an hour or so.
