quite possibly true,but i think there's enough room in that area to go up,down,foward and backward without the clutch hitting the panel,the vector engine is not as wide,there should be room in there.you never know what may happen,and the vector panel being the only one they have at a salvage yard.would like to find out just in case.may go up to dealer and start swapping to see.sk-rx1 said:I think that the clutch is in a different location. Motor is located differently and the apex has the gear reduction.
