Turbo 400 trans mount spacers?
Can anyone tell me if a 1972 H/O with a 455 and Turbo 400 needs to have spacers between the top of trans mount and bottom of tranny? See pic attached from Buick shop manual. Thanks, Steve.

I don't know for sure, but I definitely know those ARE spacers, and they were used on Buick GS cars. I know my 69 442 doesn't use them. I suspect it may be something related to an engine mounting difference between the Buick + Olds that alters the angle a bit. Like Joe says...get the right manual, different cars are different! Buicks have a LOT of parts that aren't on Olds. They have extra body mounts, a lot of extra braces + brackets, just to name a few.

Those shims/washers are indicated in the 71 Assembly manual, so I cant see why 72 would be any different. They sit between the mount and the transmission and are for the TH400 only. Part number 585792. As a guess, they must assist with the driveline angles.
