It does take about 5 hours and all of our stores have excess capacity if you call and make a morning appointment we can get it out that afternoon.

Update: so I got mine done at don herring plano and they said that is the last time they're doing it on a weekend. It took them the whole day since im the first one. The difference is night and day. it seems that its easier to put it in gear. Hope it helps!

I just got my recall letter with my car's vin printed at the top.
My car has mods on it though - can I still qualify for the recall?
(And no, I didn't change the clutch or or the CMC)

I've needed mine done badly...since I bought mine car has been lowered and it doesn't have factory bulbs and the distance it gives during night time driving is probably half of what it should be.

Update for everyone:
I got mine done last Friday at Don Herring Mitsu in Irving. Job took them pretty much all day, so just a heads up on that.
This next part is VERY important.
If you have aftermarket brake fluid currently in your car, you will have to bring more of it in. If not, you will have to pay for them to flush your system. I had ATE fluid and was told they could not mix the OEM fluid with it so I would have to pay for a flush (around $150). If I had brought in more ATE fluid, then it would have been fine but I did not have any.
So if you have aftermarket brake fluid in your car, bring more in otherwise you'll have to pay for a full fluid flush.
All that aside, the car feels great. I can DEFINITELY notice a difference in my clutch pedal feel. If you drive a 2008, you will definitely notice the difference. For those with 2010+, I don't think you will feel too much of a difference. I say that because I specifically remember helping Kracka flush his fluid one day and I remember pumping his clutch pedal and telling him it felt off to me. So we ended up running more fluid through and it still felt the same. He then checked it out and said that's how it has always felt. He then tried mine and understood why it didn't feel right. Now that this recall has been done on mine, it feels like how his 2010 felt that day.

OK, so all they do is a fluid bleed, not a complete flush? That's rather ridiculous they wouldn't mix the fluids since they are compatible, but I'm sure you were due for new fluid anyway since that was a while back when we did yours with ATE Blue.
I'm going to blow their minds when I bring in my car with a can of ATE Type 200 amber since you can no longer get ATE Super Blue (which is what's currently in my car).

It was probably coming up on time for a flush anyways so I'm not too mad about it. I just hope I can save some people the trouble of having to go through this like I did. I really think the issue was that the fluid was blue. Had it been amber, I don't think they would have noticed at all.
