What differentiates a slave cylinder with CDV to one without it? I have an AP1 but I swear I get the same kind of delay/slip sometimes at WOT on 1-3 gear upshifts. The original owner of my car was a fanatic and it's possible that he could have changed my car to an AP2 slave cylinder since the CDV was intended to prevent the differential from exploding on hard shifts.

in 6.5 laps at laguna seca my aftermarket clutch fried and cdv was a partial cause
i now have a stock clutch, ap1 flywheel, deleted cdv, and now my car is happy
if you drive spirited for any amount of time the cdv will help overheat your clutch fluid and cause issues

I know this video is extremely blurry and all, but it shows how you can shift your car as fast or as hard as you want. I have the CDV still in my car, had no issues. Didnt have any kind of burning smell when I came off the track either. This is why I say its modify your driving.

I'm sure you can modify your driving to work around the CDV but I'd just as soon get rid of it entirely, plus I don't feel that someone should have to modify their driving to work around such a hindrance. One thing I noticed immediately when I rented an Elise on vacation earlier this summer was how direct the clutch engagement was. If my S2000 can get one step closer to that feel then I'll be happy.
