I bypassed my Clutch modulator dampner (whatever that damn thing is called) and I felt no real difference. It is supposed to make it eaiser to push down and not use as much pressure.

Do it and see what you think! Many cars and trucks don't use them. I think for the 4 foot 11 inch Japanese woman that want an enlaged calve muscle showing, it is a good thing. My previous clutch was so stiff that my right hip took a pounding againt the right rear of the seat in competition driving without it. With a super clutch, yea, you see the difference, stock clutch, not enough to notice. I like my soft pedal actually.

Remember, That you need to have some sort of rubber in there to allow for flex between the engine / transmission combo and the chassis.

Go ahead and try it with the hard line form one to the other first, i just would suggest not getting on it to hard. Gotta be careful to not break the hard line.

have fun
