How much room between tranny and subframe?

I'm putting a car together and seems like there's too little room between the rear of the transmission case and the subframe. I have about the tip of a small flathead screwdriver clearance and I believe that's too little. Never really paid attention on my previous cars but noticed it on this one.

For reference, I'm using an N/A shell for the Fwd build. I have the turbo mount that bolts to the trans and 3 different mounts that bolt to the frame to choose from. I want to make sure I have the correct drivetrain angles before I start fabbing things up.

Thanks!
 
i just pulled my motor and tranny, i was looking at everything right before pulling it and i had the same problem. there was little to no room between the tranny and the subframe, so i think your fine :)
