I've been doing some searching and reading up on this. I've ordered a stainless clutch line to replace the oem piece, however looking at diagrams of the Fit's hydrolic system I'm not sure where exactly this valve is going to be. I don't have access to pop my hood at the moment since I'm at work, but if anyone can help it would be appreciated....



Looks like its #24, part name is Clutch Damper...

 

Clutch damper sounds like it. I haven't had any problems with mine, though. I'm still on the stock clutch even!

 

Same here, but it drives me nuts when I let off the pedal and the clutch hasn't engaged itself yet.

 

it's based off a wrx but hopefully this'll help ya.
How To: Clutch delay valve repost (with pics) - IWSTI.com: Subaru WRX STI Forums

been wanting to remove mine to but yea, just living with and have adjusted i guess.

 

Got this put in Saturday, and I can say I don't think I need to take the delay valve out. It feels much better, I can drop the clutch and it doesn't feel squishy at all.

 

I'm about to go out and remove my clutch delay valve right now.

 

Take some pictures of the process.

 

Ok guys, on the 2009, it's in the slave cylinder.

I chickened out last minute, and decided to buy a new slave cylinder and modify that, then just swap 'em. That way I'll have plenty of time to take tons of pictures. Win-Win for everyone.

 

Sorry to disappoint guys, but I just ripped the slave cylinder off, and took a look.

There's no restrictor valve in it. It's actually inside the slave cylinder.

When I had it off, I put a civic SC on it, just to check... Now, the civic SC didn't fit properly, but it engaged the clutch instantly, as opposed to taking anywhere from 0.20 to 0.5s to engage the clutch fully.

We need to either totally disassemble the slave cylinder, or find a new one. I'm going to shift this to the back burner for a bit. The first thing I want to do is get the brakes sorted.

 

I've run out of patience with mine. 24k miles and I still haven't gotten used to it yet. I'm still jumping out of 1st and slipping into gears.

Can we petition some tuner/aftermarket companies to build SCs without CDVs?

 

It's in the Master cylinder. I tracked it down a bit more.

Check some of the other posts I've made on the topic.

 

Reading comprehension fail for me.

It's in the MC only on the GE right? I have a GD.

Are we sure #24 in the first pic is the clutch delay valve for GDs? If it's something that can be removed without drastic modding, I'm definitely going to do it.

It looks like the in hose has an threaded fitting and the out hose has a banjo bolt? That will be tricky to fab something for.

I wonder if we can get a group buy together to have SS braided hoses custom made to bypass this thing? They'll have to replace the standard rubber clutch hose and connect straight to the hard line.

If someone can confirm #24 is it, I'll see if I can get some dimensions together, like thread pitches and stuff.

 

Going by the diagram, this is it on the car (sorry for the crappy cell phone pic):


Just look straight down behind the battery.

Really all we'd need is the right length clutch hose with a 90º angle end and a female threaded fitting to attach to the hard line coming off the MC.

Perhaps another car has such a hose?

 

Why not just modify the damper instead?

 

Don't flame me for bringing an old thread back to life but, any update on this??

 

ya.. any word on the ge?

 

It's an integral part to the clutch MC. When I get home I'll post pictures of my spare master cylinder.

 

^^So you installed a different MC??

 

Nah, it's almost impossible to get at while the engine and airbox are in the car. I may just replace it when the clutch gets replaced.

 

Yeah. Everything is so deep into the fire wall. Hehehe. But could your spare MC be used in replacement of the MC that's originally in the GE??

Oh yeah, obviously you haven't found out yet since it's a PITA to get to hehehe. Never mind. Hehehehe.
