Installing a strut bar in a manual LX
[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
I just got myself a matrix strut bar. However, I found that the clutch fluid case and bracket are in the way when you try to fit it in. Do any of you manual trans owners have any solutions of how you bypassed this problem. Thanks!

A 16 oz. . Sledge?? 

Just kidding !!! Anyone takes a sledge to a Civic needs to be shot.. .
Seriously though. . I'm trying to picture this. Can you pull off the case and bracket. . Put on your strut bar, then put it all back? Or try to run the bar above or below it?? I'v having a hard time picturing . But I would imagine that it would squeek in there somehow. Sorry I can't be of too much help .. Don't have a strut bar yet. . Anyways.. Lemme know if you get it. I have a manual and I suppose that's something I'll have to deal with sooner or later. .thanks..

You need to move the fluid reservior forward one hole. Nuespeed's bar comes with a nut that fits on the bolt for the fluid reservior so you can move it forward. There's a round hole, you put the nut on the other side through the fender well.
