Hey guys for those of you that have done this, have you had any kind of problems with tranny, clutch, or differential? or the slave cylinder it self? i've been wanting to do this for a long time now but just scare if there are any side effects.... thanks alot for the help and input

 

No problem/issues here.
other than that little itch to launch it.

LOL thanks Dan.
anybody else?

 

Side effects have been more prevalent clutch slippage on cars that have probably been launched many times and otherwise drag raced. At least that's the common theory. Maybe if the car has been driven a lot of miles with it, the "damage" is already done.

I've removed it on 5 cars so far and only 1 of them is reporting minor slipping.

You can take it out and see how it feels then put it back in if you wish.

 

the CDV is honda's driving nanny, if you don't know how to drive well enough and you happen to have a lead foot, just keep it in.

 

The AP2 flywheel is about 7 lbs heavier than AP1 flywheel. Remove the CDV and during hard, high-rpm shifts the clutch can sometimes engage too quickly to allow the flywheel to spin up, causing rather annoying clutch slippage.

For day-to-day driving, removing the CDV really improves the feel and response of shifts. But if you plan on driving the car hard, either leave it in or if you take it out put in at least a light flywheel and heavy duty pressure plate.

 

great advice thanks! but now i don't know what to do lol... how would you categorize me?, never track or launch (drag race) the car, yet its a daily driven car wich i tend to drive hard from time to time on the street... if i remove it, most likely im not goin to do any clutch work anytime soon, so should i remove or not? i have a MY04 with early 25k miles on ....
im leaning more towards not to but couple last advices could work thanks alot again
