You should reinstall the "brace-looking thing"...that is the tunnel support brace...it adds rigidity (albeit, probably not much with the stock piece) to the transmission tunnel...

Ok...I did a search and read some old threads...it appears that folks that can't make it fit are just leaving it off...how close is it? If it's close, you could shim it with washers or bend it slightly to make it fit. IMO, if I could find a way to make it fit without killing myself, I would do it...every little bit of support helps...
