    Trans mounts not lining up

    I'm having an issue with the 5 speed trans brace not lining up with the mounts I bought. I'm running Condor mounts with an Arc Asylum subframe. S54 / ZF 320Z. The driver side mount is too short, and neither of the bolts line up with the brace. The angles are otherwise correct. Anyone run into this issue, and what was the solution? I'm thinking just machine a spacer and slot the holes in the brace, but I'd prefer an off the shelf solution if there is one.

    Figured it out. The engine was bolted tight to the subframe prior to installation into the car. We loosened the mounts, lifted the engine slightly with a engine support bar, and the whole assembly settled into its proper position. :D

    Looks like the engine gets really bound up with these solid-ish mounts.
