    Who's done the master cylinder drill mod?

    Is it worth it? Should I buy a new master cylinder? my clutch has been feeling a bit mushy lately and my gears will grind when I shift quickly as if the clutch isn't fully engaged yet. does my master cylinder need replaced?

    It helps with the problem of the pedal sticking to the floor under heavy accelleration, mine still does it after the drill mod. Maybe helped a little. It wasn't very easy to do, and as for bleeding the clutch afterward, i recommend cutting a hole in the trans tunnel, it's very hard to get to the bleeder screw from under the car.

    I thought that GM put this "restrictor" in this plastic line so that women would be able to drive the car. I could be wrong but i also thought this mod would help you cram gears better. I thought that i did something wrong one night when i crammed the shit out of second and it grinded. i asked around and these guys were telling me about this and the mod you can do to eliminate it. I didn't get this info out of a book or anything but one of the guys i talk to occasionaily has over 20,000 in his car after purchase! I think he knows a little bit.
