The clutch delay valve slows clutch engagement and was intended to reduce drivetrain shock in the event that an inexperienced driver quickly engaged the clutch at higher revs. However for an experienced driver it simply burns and reduces the clutch's life.
Not sure I understand you correctly. So you are saying that the CDV increases clutch wear with experience driver?
