unbolt your tranny mounts, bellhousing bolts and pull your axles out then just slide the transmission sideways. You'll be able to get the shim in. I did my entire clutch job without taking the transmission out.

when did you trade the balt for a mustang? you need that shim.. like stated above you can get it back in without pulling entire tranny.. will take alittle finesse i guess.. good luck!
