your drivetrain warranty is for 6 years 50,000 miles or so.
I didn't remove my restrictors. They tend to shock your transmission when shifting at higher RPM.
it may shift slower or not, but i rather shift with a bit of restriction than blow up the transmission gears.
It's there for a reason, and its a damn good reason.
I've heard too many people who moved that on any clutch and 3 months later, they're selling their car, because they can't pay $6000 to replace t-case, clutch, transmission.

Dirk can chime in about this with his clutch,as he can provide alot more info on it.

I would do remove it, but then again I am prepared to take the hit if I screw up driving. You may have to change your driving syle considerably if you have been relying on the restrictor a lot under power. If you don't shift really fast under boost then it probably won't matter at all. With the restrictor in, the driver has little impact on how driving abuses the trans and less control how driving abuses the clutch. With the restrictor out, the driver has more impact on trans. abuse and full control on clutch abuse.

This is what I would like to find out.

I just have a problem of shifting fast. I don't know why I do it, but when I'm at the track and give'n it hell... haha... I just shift like there's no tomorrow. I just use to no-lift-shift so much in my honda. It just kinda stuck with me. My car doesn't even blow off when I'm racing and i have a hks SSQV. I don't full throttle shift, but it's still somewhat fast. I don't slam the gears when I shift. it's just a very quick motion. I'm gonna keep mine in. I would rather burn up a clutch then brake my tranny/transfer case. I guess with the pill out. one is gonna be able to get a better 60'...

power shifting would be nice, but i think i shift fast enough now.
yeh, i use to powershift the hell out of my prelude.
I don't even half throttle shift anymore.
i think with the stock clutch, i use to get better 60 time, or before mbc, when I peaked at 24 psi.

The clutch's friction material only wears when the clutch slips. The restrictor can cause more slip which equals more wear.
Is there anyone in here that get good 60's with the resticter in. J/w....

ACT Clutch with install = $1200
T-case + Transmission + clutch + labour = $6000 ++
for tenth or a bit faster?
