Intake Installation/Clutch Reservoir
Wednesday, April 04, 2007 3:33 PM
I ran into a problem. I ordered an intake for my car and just now noticed on the manual 5 speed Ecotecs that the clutch reservoir sits on the air box. Well, obviously the air box is being removed and with it the mounting location for the reservoir. Those of you with the 5 speed, where did you mount your clutch reservoir with your aftermarket intakes? K&N has a bracket with their kit but will not sell it unless you already have a intake from them. Any ideas/suggestions would be highly appreciated.

mounting it on the firewall is commonplace.

I figured someone might say that, I was trying to keep a clean look. Unless someone comes along the way with a cleaner option, theres always imagination and a case of beer to figure something out.

Couldn't find the an edit button...

05xtreme, what year vehicle do you have? I'm sure my 04 has that mounting hole seeing how little has change around the engine.

The mounting hole is from the stock air box. Remove the air box and you too will have that mounting hole.
The back pin on the stock air box fits into that hole.
