My transmission hasn't been pulled out yet.  When it was built  earlier the 
guy left out the springs in the clutch pack and put in extra clutches and it 
makes it slam into gear when shifting.  He is afraid that the center support 
is ruined in my case and also that they may have bored out some holes in the 
case when making these modifications.
