Hey Kracka, im in the Ft Hood area and I got my notice in the mail literally the day before I had to deploy overseas.. Is there a time limit on when u can get this done? Also, I'm having a few things done to my ride while I'm gone and was actually looking at putting in an ACT HDSS. I got a 2012 GSR with about 9000k on it and when I get done with these next batch of upgrades im prob going to be sitting right around 400whp/360tq. Do u think this new CMC is good to go or should I go ahead with something more proven??

There is no time limit on recalls. I wouldn't bother upgrading your clutch until the stocker gives you trouble. Mine is still holding perfectly fine at 69k miles and 425/400. I do suggest having the stock plastic restrictor pill removed from the slave cylinder ASAP though.
As for proven aftermarket CMC upgrades...there really isn't one in my opinion. I'd stick with the revised stock CMC provided with this recall.

Hey good info thx Kracka. I was thinking the same thing actually. I was going to just go ahead and but a new clutch while I got the extra cash and keep it on hand till the stock poops the bed.

It is a clutch delay valve; it basically delays the release/engagement of the clutch. Remove it to prevent excessive clutch slippage which can and will lead to premature clutch failure. I removed mine at 3k miles which is why my stock clutch has survived so long and is still holding perfect.
It's a little plastic pill inside the clutch slave cylinder held in place with a little spring; they can easily be poked out with a small allen wrench or glasses screwdriver.

Prevents dumbasses from destroying the drivetrain; basically forces the clutch to be the weak point in the drivetrain. If your idea of a good time is revving the engine to redline and dumping the clutch over and over and over again, then the pill is a good idea

Is that from launching or just doing pulls in any gear to redline? I don't launch although I have a few times just because, but I felt guilty almost after I did so I don't anymore haha... I really don't even go past 6500 even when I do get on it so when I go to get tuned up at Cobb Plano ill ask them if they can remove it for me.
