They may claim will not work with standard trans due to the way the stock clutch linkage works- shares the
shaft with the brake petal and their bracket would be

If you have as much clearance to the exhaust as stated
I find it hard to believe it is causing your problem but be sure to check it with the weight of the driver
in place
