Drill Mod?
Drill Mod? I have been thinking about doing the drill mod to my m6 and I was just wondering if it is going to hurt anything, I mean GM must have put that restricter there for a reason. Will it make it jumpy and take off rough?
Thanks,
Chris

Yeah, the reason is so that you miss third and have to spend major cash at the GM dealer getting your **** fixed. 
But seriously, I dont know why they put it there. I'm planning on having mine done this winter. Many, many people have it done.

The drill mod is....
1. remove mastercylinder
2. dissconnect quick disconnect line from trans. use a tiny flathead screwdriver
3. pull everything out
4. disconnect line off the bottom of the master cylinder using a small punch and hammer
5. with a eighth inch drill bit, stick it down the end of the line that connects to the master cylinder till it stops. there is your restriction.
6. drill that restrictor with bit.
7. flush line vilolently, you will have to push in the valve on the other side to remove fluid. I used shop air and blew it out.
8. fill line with fluid
9. fill master cylinder with fluid. this you will have to figure out, it's pretty easy.
10. put line back on mastercylinder
11. bench bleed it to let air in the system, out.
12. re-install and should work. It did for me in less then an hour.

they put that restriction in there, not to make it slow the fluid as you press the clutch pedal, but to slow the fluid coming back to the master as you release the clutch pedal. this prevents the clutch from engaging too quickly and breaking somthing, and to make clutch engagement smoother.
like say someone just rev's the thing to 6k and side-steps the *stock* clutch as hard as they can, it might break somthing, and might be under warrenty, and THEY might have to shell out cash to fix it.
