Only the earlier 2011 MT82s had the spacer. The casing in the transmissions was changed and the spacer was no longer necessary. I changed a clutch in a local guys car not too long ago and took some pictures for reference.

Tick performance sells them. I have them on my T56 mag swap.

Ok so its the case spacer you do not use when swapping to the Magnum. What about the smaller shim/spacer for the slave?You guys are confusing the spacer from the MT82 with a shim for a slave cylinder.
The MT82 case in the earlier 2011 mustangs was too shallow for the 05+ slave cylinder that ford uses. As such, they included a spacer for the first batch of transmissions that were built but they subsequently had a new case machined which had the proper spacing.
In these pictures you can clearly see the difference in depth in the old vs new style MT82 case.
If you have a T56, you will NOT need to use the spacer, regardless of what year car you have because the issue was with the MT82 casing, and not the slave cylinder.
