OK lets just say this 95% of people SHOULD NOT be doing this mod...it has some significant consequences and only very limited gains. If you haven't thought about this in depth I wouldn't do it.

Well, if you're not dropping alot, then why do the mod? When you do drop, it will put more strain on the diff...

Also, if yer worried about the labor, you could just buy an 03 slave and swap it out. Then you can go back if you want...

better clutch response and maybe a few drops here and there?

people in the thread have also said the response difference is worth it alone, not to mention its reversable

Dang man! Are you really 16 and with an '05?

See if you can drive an AP2 with the mod. I can tell you the clutch is really good compared to other cars but haven't tried it w/ the mod. I can see the delay with redline shifts but it's not that big of a deal.

The damage you may do to the diff is not reversible and Honda probably did have a pretty good reason for this update.

Stop drag racing! Your insurance payment is probably already higher than your car payment!

no it doesn't work like that...you need to do more modifications to make the MY03 slave work.

Yeah but you don't have to fiddle around with the dental pick and the snap ring...
