5 MT SVXer's... Fellow 5 Speeder needs help :)

Did any of you have the problem of a kind of driveshaft knocking in 1st gear (or any gear for that matter)... I have it in 1st, have always had it since the swap was done... The noise sounds like someone tapping with a hammer just underneath the center armrest... After seeing how the tranny sits in there this past week I could see that the two peice driveshaft was not aligned properly... The angle at wich the front half of the driveshaft was entering the U-joint in the center was rather extreme... Have any of the other 5 speed guys had this problem or something similar??
