I learned how to drive on a manual Triumph Spitfire and a 66 Beetle when I was 15.. Have driven many manuals over the years, but when I got the M last November, I felt like something was "hinky".. It just seemed inconsistent.. I am really glad I did this mod, and have nothing negative to say about it.. BTW , I did the two man (old school) clutch bleed.. How are some of you guys doing it?
Yeah, +1 to this and most everything else posted here. After 2 months of ownership and mastering it enough to still be displeased, I decided: why continue to deal with the CDV in and be frustsrated - after i've been driving a stick for 20 years now. I learned on my older brothers ford escort when I was 15 yrs old (& I waited until I mastered it before I told him I had been 'Borrowing' his car to teach myself, haha!)
