You would have been aware of that long before 900 miles had accumulated. Initially the trans probably would'n sit tight against the bellhousing. Secondly, if the input shaft was tight against either the pilot bushing or the nose of the input tight against the back of the crank you would have had felt like there was clutch release problems. The pressure on the input shaft would have kept it spinning even though the clutch pedal was fully depressed.
