Replaced trans mount and...
Now I have another issue. Because the newer mount's bushing is thicker, he pushes the trans up more, which in turn pushes the shifter up more. Now the side of my shifter is making contact with part of the console. The way I noticed is that when I hit a bump, the whole console moves.
Is this normal? Is there an easy fix or should I just wait for the bushing to break in a little.

Yes, it would make it lift more, which is not what I'm trying to do. I have a "spacer" (foam rubber) between the console itself and where it connects to the car. I have it adjusted to be about 1/8th of an inch higher. This seems to be the best method, because I know everything else is solid (the mount, the shifter, the trans bracket).
It works sort of well. I have the front bolts of the console adjusted as far up as possible. This seems to take most of the force off the console, allowing the shifter the movement it needs.
even though its a mustang shifter, it looks exactly the same at that part. The red circle is the contact area
