Km's is mileage in Canuck lingo. Your buying a new clutch or a warranty job, is your on the way out now? We have about the same mileage.

Yeah 40,000 miles ago...that's about avg, in fact most said that I was lucky to get 40k+ miles out of it especially with power levels and torque now..

Still driveable ... But just cant go wot without slippage at top boost levels

WOW, That doesn't seem like alot to me, I guess maybe the power levels against the stock clutch?

Could be.. I dunno ... Most I have spoken with to still have stock clutch and over 54,000 on the clock is pretty darn good ... Think I had about 9,000 on original clutch before tsb..

Wait ... The TSB was for the 07-09's flywheel causing the problem. Did you not get the 2010 flywheel and clutch put in?
If not then that's your problem.
If so I'd say you beefed it up a lot from stock and it's JUST the clutch giving you probs now.
So... Did u get the 2010 GT500 parts or not? What year was the TSB done? And what kind of HP and TRQ you running?

I had the TSB done in 2009 (June I think) without looking through the parts numbers I don't recall if it was the 2010 upgrades installed or the original tsb clutch replacement. My power is 676 Rwhp and 666 torque... New clutch and lightened steel flywheel is the mccleod rxt so it will be plenty beefed up and have better longevity
