Just to throw this out on the Internets.

The 2009 GE8 has a Clutch Delay Valve or CDV. It's a one-way restrictor in the hydraulic line of the clutch that is supposed to ease the clutch back in, as opposed to slapping back against the flywheel.

If you know how to drive a stick, it sucks. If you race, it sucks. If you aren't quite sure how to drop the clutch, it rocks. But for all intensive purposes, it just makes your clutch wear out faster.


Located in the master cylinder, this little bugger is going to be hard to get at. Unlike the s2000, which famously has it located in the slave cylinder, the Fit's CDV is an intergal part to the master cylinder. Even more unfortunate is the low-mount location of the clutch MC. The MC is a pain to even see on the GE8 Fit. Inspection of the MC requires removal of the factory airbox, and some contortionist moves. However, due to the placement and routing of lines in the engine bay, bleeding the system is relatively pain-free.

As more information is discovered, this will be updated.

Slave cylinder bore: 3/4"
Master cylinder bore: unk (assumed to be 3/4")
