Does the BMS modified clutch valve really extend the life of the clutch?
I am not sure if I am posting in the right section but here it is, I have been reading good reviews about the day and night difference with the BMS modified clutch valve (CDV?) but does it really extend the life of the clutch as advertised on the description? I can only imagine fully engaging the clutch would create more wear to it if anything. I don't understand the engineering of it, would anyone be able to answer this?

The whole point of the CDV is to keep transmission safe by slowing down how fast the clutch can engage. However, this adds more wear on the clutch. If the BMS modified clutch valve doesn't have as small of a restriction (i.e. acts like a CDV delete), then it should (theoretically) improve clutch life.

^^^ yes because your clutch would grind more as it completely engages slowly, instead of faster engagement.....its kind of like if you are driving lets say 50mph and you want to do a complete stop. Option A is you slowly brake (lets say for 10 seconds duration) till you completely stop. or Option B would be a much hard braking (lets say 3 seconds duration)...so in this case your brake pads would wear off more in Option A braking as opposed to Option B braking....lol, i hope that make sense.

Less slip is going to give you less wear. CDV delete was the best thing I ever did to this car. Stock setup was the worst clutch engagement I have experienced in 40+ years of driving manual trans. cars.

Reduces clutch wear, but at the expense of drivetrain wear if you aren't the best manual driver.
It exists for a reason.
