That's probably old information. There was a time when we were diagnosing the problem that there was some type of sensor that might have gone bad (e.g. "electrical problem"). We replaced the sensor, but were still having problems. Whenever you change the clutch pack the transmission must be recalibrated. Once we added the SSP clutch, the tranny wouldn't calibrate. That's when we found the sensor problem and replaced it. Since that didn't fix the calibration issue, we put in a brand new factory clutch and the tranny still wouldn't calibrate. So the only thing we could do was replace the tranny itself. So that's what we did, and the new tranny was able to calibrate correctly.

At this point we plan to tear down the old transmission and figure out what went wrong. There's really no reason to suspect that anything was wrong with the SSP clutches and I'm still looking forward to working with Chris and Jeremy @ SSP. That's the plan. Dig into the old tranny, find out what happened, and then work with Chris and Jeremy @ SSP to add their clutches back to the old tranny and give it another try.
