OK so I got bored today and took the damper valve apart just to see what makes it tick. I'm wondering if you were to just take out the guts of the valve, would you get the same results as replacing it with the union or is that reservoir what causes the problem? Just a thought.
OK so I just got back from dinner and I have to say this mod is a HUGE improvement! Pulling out from a stop is smoother and the shift changes are smoother also. Like others have mentioned, I thought I was just got bad at shifting (I've been driving a stick for 30 years) but now I know it was the car. The clutch grabs just off the floor and just feels more like a mechanical clutch. I'll do some "spirited" driving over the next few days (had the family in the car tonight) but I'm sure it will be just as good.
Like TEASER said, you don't have to use a bleeder, I just prefer that method. Also if you are going to do this od, you may want to put a block between the clutch pedal and the flood to keep from accidentally pushing the pedal down while the lines are off. It will make a mess.
Can't wait for my brass bushing next. Between these two mods this will clear up most of my complaints about this car.
Did mine today. I can feel the improvement just testing it out in the driveway to make sure it all worked. We're going out to dinner soon and I'll have a better idea of how it feels. Only took about 45 min. including removing the ic to bleed the system. I used my Mighty-Vac. This is definitely a must do mod. If anyone is near my neck of the woods and needs help doing it hit me up. I used a cut-off wheel on my dremel tool to remove the gusset, cut it off like butter! Also, don't try any short cuts, take the line off from the pedal to the valve like the op showed, it makes it much easier to put it all back together. Also, don't try to use a regular 10mm wrench to remove the line, you'll just round out the flare nut. Also, does anyone know what that metal disk is thats clipped to the line that goes through the firewall?
It loks like you used 4 LED's, also what did you use to go around the cupholders? Looks goo though, I am planning on doing an LED set up for my interior soon.
