I just bought a generic strut tower bar from Allman. He mentioned that I had to move something to get it installed, but I can't remember what it was. Anyone know what it was and how to do it? Thanks!

I think you are talking about the clutch master(?)/slave(?) cylinder that has to be moved. I have a 5-speed and had to move it when I installed my Neuspeed strut bar. It is not a big deal, just hard to reach to bolt it back up. There is a nut on a silver bracket right below the cylinder that bolts the bracket to the strut tower. There is a big hole in the strut tower maybe an inch below/diagonal of that. The trick is to unbolt the bracket, slide it down there while being careful not to tip it, and then using a longer bolt, bolt it to that bigger whole. Like I said, it is not hard to do, it is just hard to reach in the fender well to hold the bolt. No biggie. Sorry, no pics, but it should be easy to find.

Thanks man! Do you know what size (diameter and length) I should get? Any special tools I need? Thanks!

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] I cannot remember for sure. If I recall correctly the bolt was not all that long and I think it was a 10mm head and nut. I think the thing was it had a big (inch diameter??) flat washer on it. I did not buy it separate, it came wiht the Neuspeed bar. If you look below that bracket I mentioned you should be able to guesstimate what you need. Try looking in from the driver's side wheel well too to see where the other end goes.
