If there was something that needs repair minus the clutch they replace the whole unit.

Whatever happened to the good old days when mechanics actually fixed issues with cars. Today's mechanics only know how to replace the problem instead of actually fixing it.....

^^^ its abit bit different diagnosing a set of point, condessor or carb issue on old vehicles to dealing with multiple linked systems and code. Dealers are not paid or charge for diagnosis so most diagnostic and repair routines are writen around module/unit replacement - these are then requested back by the manufacuture whoe will try and assertain route cause and either modify the part and or the diagnostic and repair procedure.
There are still some clever techs out there who like to use their brians outside of the presrided protocols. |

Seriously though, anything aftermarket for improvements to stock components I wouldn't want the dealerships messing with that stuff anyways, unless its Dinan where they make their parts super easy to install and most of the time better than stock components.

Here is my opinion on the dealer doing the SSP upgrade... don't.
At the most I'd have the dealer do the removal/install, build a crate and ship it to Kris. You cannot put a price on peace of mind, however, you can put a price on replacing a slagged transmission.

Is SSP upgrading any internals parts or are they just cleaning it out and updating?

I guess I did not provide enough info as to whether BMW tech's could do this work. What I meant to say is would they be able to do this job on the side if you could find a tech that would do this for a price.

If I was rebuilding mine I would go with an aftermarket vendor like SSP or Shep who have a lot of experience with DCT's.
