i am wondering why i do not have problems? i drive aggressively, i use the higher rpms and shift at redline...no clutch smell and no slipping. sure there is a slight perceptable delay, but no problmes in 24,000 miles?

I just did this mod last week and it was very easy. The hardest part is the snap ring. If you do not have a mechanics pick set go to sears and pick one up it only cost me 8 bucks. It took about an hour total to do the whole job.
I have 3500 miles on my car and I never smelt any burning clutch when shifting at redline at any time. I do not believe I ever had the delay valve interfere at any point. One thing I have noticed is shifts now seem to have a more positive feel without the valve my only concern now is how this will affect longevity of the clutch, as I have read where some have done this mod and had the clutch go shortly after doing the delay valve. :shrug: Swiftoy |

But I wonder if it can be easily defeated by only pushing the clutch in far enough to change gears. If I put the clutch on the floor, I get more delay than putting the cluth 2/3 of the way to the floor, right? I will try this today and see if I can chirp second.

(And yes, you can rev match when doing high rpm upshifts.) |

Everyone post in a race its down to the driver and a slow shift could be 1/2 a car over a 1/4 mile I get on the freeway very fast and feel it slipping 2-3 and 3-4 |
