Congrats on your success! Been reading all the threads concerning your adventure. I had a 2007. My big complaint was the occasional shuddering when taking off in first gear, which was normal for the ceramic clutch, but I hated it! Never had a slipping issue. I even had the TSB done, out of caution, and no real difference other than a lighter pedal pressure. (mind you, the ceramic clutch disk was still used back then) and the shudder remained. Now have a 2011 and what a difference!! For your edification, the 2010/2011 clutch system is not ceramic, (thank God!) but is larger, so the nay sayers comments about the superiority of the ceramic clutch is pretty mute. If you're not going to modify the crap out of the car and spend week-ends at the races, then the 2010/2011 clutch will be fine for you. It is a very strong system. It has a wonderful take-up feel, easy pedal pressure, and no shuddering!! All TSB related replacements are now done using the 2010/2011 clutch system and you are absolutley going to love the difference! Glad things worked out for you. Yes, persistence does pay off. Let us know how you like the new system when you get it completed.
