another question for you guys, bear with me here...I am just wondering how much clearance there is between the transmission and the firewall on a manual transmission(or better yet, a t5 in particular) the reason I ask is because for the engine I am trying to cram into the car I may have to gain a slight amount more clearance between the engine crossmember and the bellhousing of the tranny...so if I could move the tranny back any amount at all it would help(a custom tranny mount setup isnt a problem) If I have to I can also cut into the firewall, but obviously I want to avoid that if at all possible
