Hi there. Sounds like the dealership technician may have removed some vacuum lines to get to the rear main seal and may have not put them back on. Check the back of the engine to see if any vacuum lines are disconnected. When installing a crankshaft position sensor, the computer will automatically adjust the timing. Another thing is check the transmission bell housing area for the vibrations. It is possible that the bolts to the torque converter could be loose or replaced if they were lost or broken. If you need further assistance with your engine vibrating after the rear main seal is replaced, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
