Boy, if you read the post outside the context of cars, it sounds really kinky. Like you and your friend fisted a girl with house pets that were at first too warm when you took them out of the microwave. And now you enjoy her more because she's looser.

if i remember correctly the drill mod is primarily for 98-00 cars seeing as 01-02 cars have a slightly less restrictive hydr. line. Of course im just pulling that from the top of my head but im pretty sure i read that at 1 time or anouther.

basically gm put a resriction in the hydr line as to regulate how quickly you can disengage the clutch system as to extend the life of the worthless 10bolt they put behind the t56. I never did the drill mod to my 02, after i upgraded the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel it was hard enough on that 10bolt. Its only saving grace is i never put a sticky tire on it

basically making the hyd line bigger on the inside increasing flow making less resistance, in some cases before the 01-02 master came out its almost necessary, especially after a few runs, the **** just gets worse, sometimes sticking to the floor,

the drill mod is a quick way to solve most clutch problems in before 01-02, sometimes needed in 01-02
