yes, the transmission is firmly attached to the car, and the block isn't shorter. If it was, the engine would just sit farther back in the engine bay to mate up to the transmission, but I'm pretty sure Nissan didn't reengineer their block lately.

I bet when they put the exhaust back in they reversed the pass pipe with the driver side,there is a dot on the drivers side to match up with the dot on the intermediate pipe.

I would look to see if both dots on the driver side are matched up.
