No trouble's here. 12,000+ miles, stock and I beat on it pretty regularly. I just don't slip it, and haven't added any power.
If you add power and it goes, it's definitely not GM's fault.

lol even if you tried to use this as evidence of any issue I am sure that some of those getting slip can attribute the issue to unnecisary abuse or user error. Good luck with it though.

Domestics Pwn
16k hard driven miles with quite a few mods.
No problems so far.
Spec Stg 2+ waiting in the wings just in case though.
*EDIT* Actually ONE time on a cold morning I noticed it slip about 1500 rpms on a hard 1-2 shift. That was almost 10k miles ago though and its never done it again.

And remember that even if your clutch is not sliping you still need to vote! And post if you would like.
Im trying to figure out what the % of SS S/Cs are haveing this problem.
It seams to be some what high at this point. I was only expecting 15% or so. and we are at more then 34% right now.

feels like tires a burning out but it was clutch. Happens during extreme take offs 1st - 2nd gear. No problem during normal driving. This car with theese mods is so different whith twice the power as stock i expect to replace clutch soon.

Slipped only once at around 14k miles when I did a hard launch to test out a torque brace I had just installed. Hasn't slipped again since that one time and still feels strong at 22k miles, even with stage 2 for a little over 3k miles, now. (knock on wood)
