Got my clutches from SSP a couple of weeks ago and finally had my shop install them. My old clutches were slipping slightly on 5th and 6th gear and had developed some slight shudder when going forward 1st gear and reverse. The shudder is completely gone now.
Only did a short test drive after I picked up the car and I still have to break them in, but so far I don't find any difference in shifts. They're butter smooth. The only difference I feel is when backing off the throttle, the "lurch" from the engine brake feels slightly stronger, but not that different than before. So far I'm a happy camper. Can't wait to break them in Thanks for the great product and service Kris!

It's good to see all this positive review on the SSP and Kris's appreciation for working with my shop.
My situation is as follows : I bought the SSP clutches at the recommendation of my shop AutoHaus Frankfurt. The used engine we got let go after 100 miles. Car was in the shop for 1 year waiting on a new Carbahn engine. Kris is on this thread praising Autohaus's support which he is now loosing due to this situation. Hopefully we can rectify that. Once that engine got in and was broken in and tuned and sent back to me the even gear clutches failed after 8 miles of driving. Was on the freeway and car started jumping from 7 to 5 then as I slowed 3 to 5 and back and forth. Shut it down w/ a drive train error and wouldn't start again. Got it towed back to the shop and they found the even gears warped. They called Kris @ SSP and he said since it was 1 year and 5 days since the receipt for purchase of the clutches he was not going to help. My shop let him know of this and he wanted pictures of the clutches. Got them then stopped returning calls. I emailed him and he was highly combative. I may have come off a bit strong to start but attempted to reset and get his position. He wouldn't give me one other than it wasn't his fault my car was in the shop for a year and were 5 days past warranty. He said the install was not done wrong but just I was out of luck. I've asked to speak to him via phone. Called a few times and left a VM and another Email and no response. No response to my shop either. I've been calling around all the top people in the industry I know to get opinions on this and seems there's some issues on the F10/F12 platform with these clutches. I am really hoping Kris wants to come around. I am a very reasonable client that just wants to be treated fairly. Best, Skyler |

I did. I thought I posted an update. Kris was great on the phone and very helpful. He shipped a set of replacement clutches at no cost. Two thumbs up for SSP.
