Mines been slipping all along
I started having slippage problems at about 1000km. I don't see it unless I really push it when shifting from 1st to 2nd though. It's really annoying and unbelievably obvious even to my friends who wouldn't know torque from a toque 
. They've asked me why sometimes when I will shift theres no go for a second and then pow... superman. That's a quote by the way 
In any case, I would love to get it fixed but I have been watching the threads for a year now and have yet to hear about a recall.

I have 4000ish miles and noticed no problems thus far. I let my buddy drive it and he roasted it, like something fierce, I could smell him coming and I still don't have any problems yet.

Normal driving conditions for me is easy shifting and driving slow.
Some spirited driving including high rpm power shifting. 8 runs at the track all power shifted. This was done before the car even hit 7000 miles.
No issues whatsoever.

Also yesterday i was coasting out in second as I was in trafic and the car was kinda jolting. it wasn't a near stall out cause the enginer RPMs were at 1500 but the car was kinda jumping slightly.

I have been driving standard cars for the past 16 years and i find that the clutch on the ss/sc takes some time getting used to. I stall the car at least once a day. (I have only had the car for 11 days).
