Did you tighten the new bushings at ride height? Could be their binding if they were drooped when tightened... Rear axle bearings might be worth a look. Just thinking of mechanical interfaces that could 'jerk'

Realize this is an old thread. Someone might be interested in this drivetrain drop if they're searching titles like I did... Dropped my entire drivetrain in one piece: engine, trans, and transfer case. I posted some pics to Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/i3yeRwYLR69cEhrB/?mibextid=xfxF2i

I have a hydrolocked VQ35 engine, auto transmission. I can't remove the transmission from the engine the 'normal' way since the crankshaft won't turn. Can't unbolt the torque converter. Decided to drop the entire drivetrain out the bottom. I posted a few pics from today on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/i3yeRwYLR69cEhrB/?mibextid=xfxF2i Detaching connections was the same as removing transfer case, transmission, then engine except for the difficult to reach bolts. Took off the front facia. Detached the lower control arms and steering tie rods. Then sat the engine down on the subframe. Jacking the truck so high just took slow incremental care.
