the drill mod is used to remove the restriction in the hydraulic line coming from the master to slave cylinder in order to help with fast shifting.
i havent heard of anyone having problems after doing it

There's absolutely no down side to the drill mod. Imagine an hourglass. You have the bottleneck in the middle that the sand must slowly channel through. With the restriction, there is this "bottleneck" that the fluid has to travel through so to speak. It keeps the fluid from traveling through the line as fast as it should to and from the master and slave, hindering clean, sure, disengagement, and engagement, of the clutch.

Absolutly do it. Coincidentally I just did the drill mod on my car today, and its 100% quicker shifting. I used to have slow 1-2 shifts, but now its great, and its a free mod, so why not?
The only way it could damage anything is if you dont flush the line well emough to get rid of the drill shavings. Be sure that you flush it well, because the little metal particles can hurt seals

I replaced the slave when I did mine as well. If you're doing it by yourself, an easy way to flush the metal shavings is to snap the quick-disconnect into an old removed slave and pour fluid into the bleeder of the slave and tilt. The fluid will dribble out of the drilled side along with any shavings.
