do solid rubber lower motor mounts need the limiters???

Hello,
For those of you familiar with lower motor mounts for a B202... you know the stock hydraulic motor mounts use a limiting system consisting of a metal bracket attached to the motor mount itself, and a tab which goes around the center of the mount... the tab hits the metal bracket at the motor mounts highest point of travel to keep it from going higher...
now... on a hydraulic mount i can see how this is important because there is so much travel to them
however i have switched to a solid rubber mount... (which i am currently fine with the vibration level... it's not that bad, I have all other poly bushings anyways)
I reinstalled WITHOUT using the brackets... as the MTC brand solid mounts i bought didn't come with them on there and i thought that i wouldnt need them, since the rubber doesn't travel that high anyways, so the limiting bracket would be a moot point, so to speak.
I'm just wondering... after the fact, if this matters.
replacing the mounts didn't entirely fix my problem. which is a CLUNK on accel and decel, and also hard shifting...
