i would say no but you will see soon different opinion.
For me the mount-center pipe- meets the body is should be flush with it...mind you the trany bolts are not that long...i do not always relied on PET..even there is only one... Ivan

I don’t recall seeing them on aluminum transmissions from 1978 on
I have a 77 mag trans and it has a spacer. Bruce |

The spacer can help keep the sway bar from being too close to the mount. It can keep the two big transmission mount bolts from bottoming into the chassis mountings. I have trouble seeing them as necessary for alignment of the shift shafts, which have U joints and the aluminum spacer is not very thick. But they appear to be a stock part for the SCs.
The PET for '86 shows the spacer at part 2, but there is no 2 over where the part numbers are listed! Maybe the diagrams were just recycled? For the 78-83 PET, part 2 is shown, but listed by PN only for the Turbo. For the 74-83, part 2 is shown and listed as for every model. For the '72-3, the plate is shown. For the '70-71 911 transmission, two smaller, two hole plates are shown. |
