The assembly will go back far enough to line the shifter up nicely. It was a stick car already and one of the lines accross the firewall is for the hydraulic slave cylinder, so that line will be removed and rerouted since the GM T5's clutch fork is on the drivers side. The brake lines should only need to be bent slightly if any at all for fitement but I will know more once I get my proper engine crossmember installed. The orange cable is for the speedometer and that will be removed also as the new trans has an electronic output and I will just end up running a GPS speedometer to simplify things.
