This is great if you don't know how to modulate a clutch properly, but for performance drivers it can be a huge hindrance as it takes control away from the driver. In addition, the hydraulic force is not fully transmitted to the clutch fork and thus pressure plate disengagement is compromised.Ĭlutch Slave Cylinders (on most newer Hondas and Acuras) have a delay valve that lessens the shock induced when dumping the clutch by limiting how fast the clutch can engage. This can leave you stranded as the master cylinder is no longer able to generate hydraulic pressure to actuate the clutch. This diaphragm becomes a problem as it is prone to leaking or even blowing out completely. These vibrations mainly stem from the clutch release bearing when engaging the pressure plate.

Clutch Master Cylinders (CMCs) (on most newer Hondas and Acuras) have a dampening diaphragm that helps subdue tiny vibrations in the pedal.
