UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7-11-09
well, they had my car for 5 days. Replaced the clutch, flywheel...pilot bearings, input shft etc etc...all I can say is someone should have warned me about the new clutch. I get in my car and almost put my foot through the floorboard (for anyone who owns a gt500 built prior to 9-2008 knows what I am talking about) the original clutches in these beasts made you feel like you were doing squat thrusts with your left leg if you were in a allot of stop and go situations...now its like butter....the positives

1) clutch is like butter now....smooth and easy
2) no more chatter at all
3) shifts are smooth and concise (now I appreciate the KR short throw even more)
4) a great mod overall......I believe the repair total was $8k (thank goodness for warranty)

for those who have not went to their dealer and argued it...just be ready...if your car was built before Sept 2008 you DO have the old clutch...the old flywheel and the input shaft that has not had the teflon on it so it is probably coroding. You can argue that you do not have any of the symptoms, however you will at one point...it depends on how you drive...the climate you live in etc...if you go once its too late they can argue normal wear and tear and you will spend the dough...I was a non believer until I met Bill formerly from SVT...and I still was skeptical until I drove my car after the repair...but I have seen the light and am a true believer now.....good luck to all.....thought I would just post for all to see,,,,
