I don't think  so.  You may want to re-engineer your understanding of  the
system.  Elijah who installed a B5 S4 6-speed without the bracket  and
also crashed his car, had no problems with the seatbelts  latching.

This is true. The seatbelts still latch and worked great. My tranny was  
pushed back about 4" in the accident. Also, the 6 speed I had was the DSY from a  
euro B5 S4 and there are some differences if the B5 tranny from the states 
just  bolts up with no issues.
