I just completed this as well. The feel in clutch engagement is exactly what I was looking for. As mentioned earlier in this thread all you need to do is put something narrow (such as a hex key) into the small side of the cdv and give it a tap. The constriction pops right out. The only thing I would add is that if you're going to do the clamp method (easiest way in my opinion) make sure you clamp it down quite tight. I had a second body use a pair of pliers to hold the line and he either wasn't holding tight enough or they weren't quite centered on the line. I think a C clamp would be the way to go.
In summary this mod is free or about $30 depending on your preference and worth every cent. It will provide the linear clutch engagement you are looking for.
