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.

You can easily overwork your syncros if you don't fully disengage the clutch and the revs don't match up right. But then, they're your syncros, so if you want to risk it, give it a try. A few months from now, you may be back here asking why you tend to grind gears more when you shift.

 

Shifting techniques vary from one person to another. If you are matching revs better than most, then you will be able to do what you do without the same issues that others are talking about.
(And yes, you can rev match when doing high rpm upshifts.)

 

maybe you shift slowly through 1.0-1.5 seconds lag between gears?
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
