Default drill mod
Thinking about doing it but I've heard people have had problems with it, they say the clutch grips to fast and you start breaking things. Any opinions on it?

Drill mod doesnt make your clutch grab any harder, it will stop the pedal sticking to floor issue and let you, in most cases, shift faster.

you should have a solid driveline before you start adding sticky clutches, tires and big cams anyway

Yeah it makes the clutch engage faster right? I was thinking about doing it but I'm not sure if I should on my stock drive train.

No, it has nothing to do with your engagement point, it just helps with sticky pedal issues due to low volume restricting fluid flow. I've done the drill mod on several cars.

If you don't have any shifting issues, then I guess there is no need for it, but it won't hurt anything if you did. It can only benefit you.

well at when I speed shift it feels kinda like I'm forcing it, actually the more I read into it I actually think I'm gonna do it before I have any issues, cuz everyone that does it loves it.

How does it help with a sticky pedel? One person was saying that you can hurt your drive terrain, is there any truth to that?

Like I said before, it provides less restriction for fluid movement by increasing the inside diameter of the tube. And there is absolutely no way that you can hurt your drive train by doing it.
