Another thing to consider is the cracked firewall syndrome.  That can
reduce the effectiveness of the clutch system and cause hard shifting.
BTDT with my urq.

Hi Ed,

The braces are .110 steel, waterjet cut, pecision bent,
tig welded, then powdercoated.
You do_not have to bleed any of your clutch/brake system
to install it. I include instructions.

I will send you a pic of one actually bolted to the
steering rack, and clutch master cylinder, while out of
the car. It's very difficult to see it installed.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Jeff
