So, you found the clutch then?
That's good.

invest in a good torque wrench, you'll need one eventually... like now.

As for the tool, nope.

never looked at a manual FTO, but perhaps the clutch master cylinder is the term we are looking for? :lol:

again, unsure of FTOs, but my Magna had an outline where the hole was to be drilled, along with the 2 studs protruding from the firewall and simply needing nuts to secure.
