Clutch delay valve.

you can do it easy yourself. there a simple DYI on this.


there also a debate that its bad/good.

just drove it round the block and the clutch grabs a little harder, but still slips a little, looks like i need a stronger clutch

s for shweet-2k

why would this exist in the first place. there has to be a reason for it right?

114_ap2

i don't know the reason they have it but i know i don't like it

from my research, it's in place because people were blowing their diffs or clutch from too many hard launches, so i think they put it in as a precaution? i personally hate it and i drive a lot smoother on ap1's with it on. s for shweet-2k: essentially what it is (and someone w/ more technical knowledge, please chime in if i'm wrong), is a delay that slips the clutch on hard/quick shifts rather than engaging completely into gear. in other words, when i'm doing a 1->2 vtec shift as fast as i can, it'll sound like i'm slipping the gear in rather than what my left foot really is doing (clutch completely in, clutch completely out).

everything i read on the thread on s2ki though points to the ap2 owners recommended to get a lighter flywheel after taking it off because of some reason (i forgot why), so i think that was the only reason preventing me from removing mine to prevent long term damage/wear?

any ap2's that have done this provide insight?

i think its because the ap2 flywheel is heavier due to the cdv that causes the slipping clutch.

i think i saw this on one of billman's threads but correct me if i'm wrong

goodluck with the CDV OP
