Anyone who has yet to do this mod I will let you in on a little tip. THERE IS NO NEED TO PURCHASE THE NEW CDV VALVE from ZECHHAUSEN. All you do is remove the valve and reinstall the line into the master cylinder and voila perfect shifting. My old CDV valve is in the garbage and my wallet still has the $60 in it that I was thinking about spending on the Zechhausen unit. Cheers!
Awesome news!

I was just thinking about that job the other day, wondering if it would work out like that, and if I should have the Z-unit on hand before starting, just in case.

You said above that you reinstalled the line into the master cylinder; did you mean slave cylinder there? If memory serves, the CDV is on the slave... (lucky #13 in the diagram.) Just checking.



Did you have any trouble bleeding the clutch after the mod? Did you have to bleed the brakes at all?
