    Talking about this plate here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/156637123510
    I need some help with this. I went to do the job today and got shut down pretty quickly.

    Took the heat shield off the trans to gain access to the accumulator/slave. Went to remove the lines from the accumulator... and realized there's ZERO room to do so. The trans to exhaust manifold bracket is super close, the trans tunnel is super close.. I have a 10mm flare wrench that is pretty damn short and I still couldn't even get it to bite due to the lack of room. Tried my shortest 10mm box end wrench and same thing. Didn't want to mangle the fittings with vice grips or anything so I gave up for now.

    Is there a tool that would make this doable? Any tips or tricks that I'm not thinking of? I think a crow's foot could work for the slave to accumulator line but I don't think that'd do the trick for the master to accumulator line at the top.

    Just bypassed mine with a union and new hard line.

    Would like to hear some feedback on this mod also. Was looking into the s2000 clutch cable mod but this seems easier

    Dropping the front driveshaft will help, I ended up just bending the lines and connecting them together with a union. I have the same block off plate but it ended up being easier to get a union on the lines. It’s a great upgrade I highly recommend it
