Hey Everyone!

I ordered an upgraded master cylinder from CPP (see link below) to replace the stock one. When I went to install it, the crossmember at the back of the transmission gets in the way. The kit also came with a manual transmission bracket. Has anyone used this key? Could anyone help walk me through the install? Thank you!

I had the same problem but my crossmember had to go to make room for my new transmissions... Not sure how you could get around it.

It will work but I had to replumb the proportioning valve to the side. See the attached pic.

can you rename the pic above? I believe it should end in jpg as jpeg is not an accepted file type and I really need to see that photo smile
