I have had the CDV delete for about a year now and these are the things I have noticed.
Initial impression
When I first installed it I had high expectations, but it didn't feel that much different than OEM. I had seen reviews online saying that they could feel the clutch bite point as clear as day, but it must have been a cloudy and rainy day for me because I didn't feel a substantial difference. at least anything that I could confirm was the CDV and not just me looking for a difference. Unless they were driving naked I couldn't feel the clutch bite any more then I could before. So my first two week impression was unimpressed, but after that point it was no longer on the top of my mind and I naturally got use to it.
The realization
About a month later while driving my wife said that my shifts were smoother than before and way more predictable. Mind you this is a big deal to me because my wife isn't a car fan and finds all driving to be unpleasant and annoying. After that comment I started to think back to how bad it actually was before the CDV delete. When you are driving with the OEM CDV the car for them most part is predictable, well at least you can learn to drive around the CDV, but man was it infuriating when you didn't get it perfect and it would feel like you slipped off the clutch and dropped a bomb in the gear box.
The good
After that I knew the CDV delete was worth the money because I no longer had to be perfect with the timing and play into the hand of CDV. I could drive exactly how I wanted and the clutch would engage when I expected it to and how I wanted it too. Gone are the days that I get mad when I think I miss shifted and it was just me fighting the CDV. I definitely think that if you want a more predictable clutch and are tired of the random engagement positions I would strongly recommend the Seb's Garage CDV delete kit.
