Would you still think the same thing when I voided your warranty on a transmission that had thrust washer damage?

as long as the shaft is able to slide in and out with ease i dont think it would cause wear on thrust washers unless it was binding.

Cutting it with a hacksaw or by other means without the bevel will allow it to bind.
Just because it travels freely by hand on a bench doesn't come close to simulating the real world stresses while it's in a vehicle.
