    Shimming T5 Transmissin

    Where is the best place to shim the T5 transmission? Where the mount bolts directly to the transmission or where the Energy spacer is bolted to the crossmember piece?

    Thanks

    I think and am planning on spacers under the Energy mount on top of the A-arm mount. I have 1/8" aluminum spacers that span the A-arm slots.

    Nothing wrong with spacing the individual trans mounts but I think it's more time consuming to make the change than under the Energy mount.
