The whole point of the CDV is to keep transmission safe by slowing down how fast the clutch can engage. However, this adds more wear on the clutch. If the BMS modified clutch valve doesn't have as small of a restriction (i.e. acts like a CDV delete), then it should (theoretically) improve clutch life.
