Is it possible to notice an out of alignment condition by measuring the torque needed to turn the tail shaft of the transmission in high gear with the clutch disengaged in the car and not under engine load as opposed to the torque necessary to turn the tail shaft in high gear when the transmission is out of the car on the bench?

If the alignment were not correct would there be a noticeable difference?
