I bought the modified CDV from Zeckhausen and had Helix (Manayunk) install it - I think they charged a half hour labor for it (like 40 bucks). Totally worth it in my opinion since I didn't want to risk having to bleed the thing myself (which I'm not even sure was necessary).

And yes, if you're still driving your 6MT with that jackass valve in there, you're not really driving your 6MT

Does Helix sell them too? or just install?
What are the chances a dealer finds this mod? Can they visibly see it? or will they have to remove it to see?
