Ouch, good eyes, Keith!!!

Letting the tranny dangle off the nose like that puts HUGE stress on 
parts that were never designed to handle them. Yes, this puts the 
nose cone, the front tranny mount, the shift rod, shift coupling, and 
the hockey stick all in jeopardy. You only have to damage one of 
these to open yourself up to extra trouble.  ;-p
