hey guys, I took my madforce apart to repalce the clutch spring, and when i put it back together the tranny didn't line up perfectly, I didn't notice if it was like this before i took it apart, but iam sure it was lined up, becuase i definatly notice it now, anyways it drives, and shifts perfectly but is there any chance of damage, or more wear happening, heres a pic, the pic doesn't give a clear view of what iam talking about, but just the setup of how the tranny is on this car, I'll take another pic from the top, when my camera batteries are done recharging.

I think anytime you have your tranny not aligned correctly you are susceptible to stripping your spur gears. Just listen to the car when you roll it for any binding, if no noise i think you're ok.

Big word THINK!
 
heres an updated pic, you can see that the 3 bigger gears on the bottom are just at a bit of an angle to the right, its much more noticable in person, but the gears don't bind at all and flow quite freely....
