    Default Gearbox Thump Problem

    ok long story short, vt gen3 series 2 with 6spd manual,
    Sent the car in to get the rear main seal fixed, got it back and now when im driving the car, take off from first clutch 2nd as i let go of the clutch it feels like tailshaft slap.
    Or best way to describe the jolt is just lifting your foot off the clutch really fast you get that sudden jolt
    Took it back to the guy and said WTF is going on ,he check the tailshaft bolts over and gearbox mount said everything looks ok to him... any thoughts?
