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?

they would have to remove it to notice it, i doubt any dealer would ever check, it looks exactly like stock from the outside

I'd go to AK myself as well!!

You wont regret it!

AlexMac@Alpine · 06-15-2010, 01:45 PM

both places are great ... ah soo torn... got mine done at AK, they did a great job, but i know Eric at Helix would do just as good a job as anyone. Its really just preference, or flip a coin

can't you just get the valve removed? i recall reading some threads that said you dont really need the replacement part.

yes, you take the stock one out of the car, modify it (take the guts out) and re install
