Quicker SHIFTS with this FREE MOD!!!

[@cadecockrell7965]

I spent 3 weeks looking for one of these as my first car… just found and bought an 04 manual and I love it!!

[@thecarfiend11]

3 weeks?! Awesome. People have been looking for months or even years for the one they want

[@kalebjohnson3495]

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WEIRD WHEN I GOT THIS CAR. doing this tomorrow thank god.

[@rightfight100]

Prob one of the best feelings mods I've done!

[@thecarfiend11]

I definitely agree!

[@youandiryan]

Thank you for this video man. I have a 2004 Honda Accord V6 6 speed Coupe. Pretty rare little car. But it uses all the exact same parts as your car. I am thinking about getting the clutch master cylinder delete kit or the upgraded clutch master cylinder kit. The Acura and Hondas for our years use the exact same components just maybe in different places

[@thecarfiend11]

Much appreciated man. Small mod, but makes a difference. And YES! You do have a somewhat rare car. 6-6 Accords is what I call it haha (V6, 6-speed)

[@youandiryan]

@@thecarfiend11 hahaha YES. I do call it the 6-6. But I just don't say it all the time because non Honda/Acura people are confused when I say it. But you obviously know hahaha

A clutch delay valve, or Check Valve exists to eliminate shockloads generated by hardshifts, particularly at high engine rpm. Shockloads do damage drivetrain components and ARE the cause of 2nd gear failure as well as wheel hop. The clutch assembly is made the sacrificial part by enabling the clutch to "slip" to dissapate the forces generated at a high rpm shift. This slipping of the clutch at high rpm is detrimental to clutch but it is the opinion of the Honda engineers that this is preferable to sacrifice the clutch, a component which itself is a wear-item.

[@thecarfiend11]

I appreciate the detailed comment. At the end of the day, I base it on "feel". And I'm very used to a more direct feel regarding the clutch pedal. This mod definitely made it feel more like how I'm used to with my last older Honda. Understandable how the Acura engineers made it this way to prolong the life of the clutch/transmission. But at the end of the day, I'll gladly sacrifice a better driving experience for some reliability/longevity

13:01. You should only do the mod on a new slave, and then put the new (and modded) slave into the car, when you're ready. There is utterly no point in going through all this to just put a used slave back into the car. You should also upgrade the master to the K Tuned master while you're at it. Then you have an entirely new, and fully unrestricted, clutch hydraulic system, ready for years and thousands of miles of service, and you only go through the BS once.

[@bujin5455]

7:05. Of course it's normal, you have your hydraulic system open, so it's not able to transfer spring pressure back.

Do you know if this is also a fix on a 8th Gen v6?

[@thecarfiend11]

Not 100% sure. This mod would help on the 7th gen Accords, I know that

[@carloscoleman7154]

And if I go with the Honda non lsd 6spd will that make that much of a difference…. I’m pretty sure the acura manual transmission is a limited slip differential transmission where as the Honda wasn’t right?

[@boubou3692]

Nice

[@angeldejesus65]

how is it in traffic? i live in nyc and traffic is no joke

[@thecarfiend11]

Feels fine in traffic 🤷‍♂️

[@Budzlist1]

Dam it man we automatic owners need sumtin bro cause lacking on the shift

[@davidzebar6876]

Is it the same for tsx?

[@thecarfiend11]

Not 100% sure. It should be the same steps, but may look different

[@carloscoleman7154]

Need a six speed lsd trans help me out Acura Honda gang

[@cookiemonster9020]

No leaks from it at all?

[@thecarfiend11]

Nope, no leaks

[@ja195]

I thought it was the master cylinder not the slave that was the issue

[@thecarfiend11]

I would say both is at fault for how the Acura TL feels. Some have replaced the master cylinder with a K-Tuned one and that results in better response and feel

[@ja195]

@@thecarfiend11 ahh okay I just bought a Clutch Master cylinder from exedy for my TL-S and steel braided lines , would love for you to check the car out I'm in CT

[@fwtxcody916]

Does this work on automatic transmission as well?

[@thecarfiend11]

Nope

[@lunisic]

Its a delay valve not a check valve.
