Trying to compile some personal opinions on the Clutch delay. Yes, yes.... Ive done the search thingy.... just didnt come up with what I was after... this might even be in the wrong forum... if so, please re direct. Thks

How many people have gotten rid of the clutch delay, and how many havent? Opinions? Anyone have troubles from getting rid of it? I have an '03 clutch slave, and was planning on using it... but just a little unsure at this point. Here is how I see it.

Differential - $400-$600

Clutch (from all that slipping with the delay) - $1200.00 Installed

i just swaped it out with an 03 slave take 15mins and a buddy to help you bleed it ...

 

yea swapping the slave is a quick and easy job. the swap and bleed should take 30minutes altogether.

 

i know there is prolly tons of thread on this but can someone post the pros & cons on AP1 CDV? or no CDV?

 

I read something about having to cut the tab? Sound right?

Modify Current CDV thread

Both are diys

the first is a link to swapping AP2-AP1 BUT goes to the OPs opinion of the Mod

Second Link is the DIY by Billman on modifying the AP2 CDV.

 

Yes there are 100x threads on this so you should check those out.

I am against swapping in older parts on newer cars because you don't know what other changes were involved in Honda's decision to make a new slave cyl. Maybe the volume is different? Making a small hole or picking the spring out is the preferred method.

Here in AZ, 90% of the AP2 owners have theirs removed. Everyone is happy with the change.

 

Did mine over a year ago and never looked back. Get your self a set of mechanics picks you will need it to remove the snap ring. You can find them a sears for less than 10 bucks.

i cant stand the cdv, but was gonna leave it in to save myself from being part of the pownd diff club. i know the car will drive better, shifter harder, but wouldnt a stronger clutch with the delay feel nearly as good and still save the diff from the initial shock of a quick shift?

anyone out there with an aftermarkjet clutch and cdv intact?

 

I'm not a mech but the same hydrolic principal would apply even if you were able to install a truck clutch.
The only way to prevent clutch slip is to remove the valve.
