For sure the best thing I've done to the car. I notice the downshifts are super quick and smooth, less noticeable change on the upshifts for me, but for sure improved.

It's really a great gearbox, it's a shame they make it act stupid like that. I think it's all part of catering to those who can't drive standard (no throttle needed to move, auto rev match, hill holder, CDV, pedal spring, extra travel at the bottom so the clutch is for sure disengaged). ETC...

Now you have me wondering if I should just take those parts out. I don't want to go under there again .... ugh. I'm not too worried about any metal shavings, I deburred it, blew everything with air, and flushed with fluid. I had the thought just to remove them, but didn't want to. It didn't look like they sealed anything, but I didn't want to risk that. In hindsight if you're saying no leaks with them out, the smart thing to do is remove them and skip the drill.

I'm going to have to remove that spring now.....
