Only if it's leaning far enough to make putting it in gear hard.

Leaning to the left, so if 1st and or 2nd are hard to get into gear because off interference, you can do damage to your tranny (more like excessive wear on the gears, its still bad). I had to mess with my Strat twice to get it just right, been in the car for a year now with zero issues.
