As said, the pinion angle is wrong. That is setup for using a double cardan driveshaft (like with a SYE). It will vibrate like that. You need a SYE and a new driveshaft, or some shims to put the pinion back down.

TMR Customs sells steel shims... I think Ruffstuff does too. Do not use aluminum shims if you go with shims, they are extremely dangerous.
