    E31 manual trans guys?

    Is there anyone on here with a manual in their car? Im swapping one and I want to see how the clutch line looks in a "correct" setup.

    Thanks!

    The line from the tip of the master (a bitch to get to) is a formed hard line at the top. It goes through a little square holder thing a bit down the inner well by the firewall. The hose then goes OVER the pipe beneath that (trust me, if you thread it under, you'll never get the hardline to line up - ask me how I know). Rubber line continues down to connect with a coil of hardline bolted to the slave.

    I can actually get my hand down in there which is interesting because you’re the second person that said it sucks...
    Anyway, is the block thing a combination of a plate that tightens down against a plastic bushing?
    I see something like that in the etk which they call a “Bow”
