    How u running the cable clutch ? On mine I've cut another lower hole in the bellhousing and moving the rx8 pivot just used a longer cable fixing the inner tobthe gbox and pulling the outer to it which in turn pulls the rx8 fork :-) works a treat
    Longer cable was from speedy cables with standard threaded collar for adjustment

    This is the way i would do it. Have you got any photos of what you have done? I would like to write a little artical to help people to do the conversion using a cable. Thanks, john.
