Transmission Spacers from GTM

Anyone know about these? I got transmission spacers from GTM. They are used with the engine spacers! Now that I am installing the motor I see I have 2 bolts per side on the transmission brace. I talked to Sam over at GTM and he told me there was only one bolt per side (I only have 2 spacers). Am I confused or what? Here is a picture of the underside of my car. I don't see how there could only be one spacer per side unless something is suppose to be bolted down uneven. I am really suprised Sam couldn't help me when they build tons of these boosted cars. Anyone else with knowledge know what I am doing wrong?

Brace attaches at both sides of frame

It adds space between the car and the transmission I think. I installed engine mount spacers as well...so I assume they work together to give more space in the engine bay to fit all the goodies that go in there.

Has anyone even heard of engine spacers? I hope I am not a guinea pig of this setup.

Never heard of them. They are supposed to space the transmission from the frame of the car? Hrmm...

How big are the spacers...are they like over-sized washers??

Not sure.

They look like washers, about 1/4 thick steel, 1" in diameter.

I used engine spacers mounting my engine to the subframe. Now I am ready to install the engine and I don't see where the transmission spacers go.

This is a before shot when my transmission wasn't attached so you can see what I am doing.

The spacers go between the transmission and the bracket, there are 2 bolts. The 4 bolts go to the frame.

Hope this resolves your problem, let me know if you need anything - it seems there was some miscommunication.

Hey George.... I believe you guys moved? I understand Sam was busy, no one answered the phone all week and he said the internet was down. Do you possibly have a picture? I'm a newb and don't apparently know what the transmission or the bracket is.... Thanks.

On the internet I found a picture of what looks like the transmission with the transmission bracket attached to it? I see that single bolt that is holding the bracket to the transmission mount (rubber piece)? Do spacers go above the rubber piece?
