What you're saying here suggests that the CDV affects the clutch DISengagement as well, so that a fast shift might "beat" the clutch disengagement, which of course would result in gears grinding.
If so, I don't like the sound of that.  |
My understanding (and the wiki page on CDVs) is that they are a one way valve that limits the rate of clutch engagement, but it does not affect clutch disengagement in any way. This is definitely true on BMW's clutch delay valves as well, from what I can find. That having been said, I can't find much on whether or not the BRZ/FRS has a CDV, and if so, how it is set up, so it could be set up differently from the standard arrangement. I can't imagine they would delay the disengagement of the clutch though - that would increase clutch and transmission wear for no apparent benefit.
