I know this is a newb question but how do you define slipping?

If it's slipping on 5th..it's only a matter of time until you experience problems with 1 and 3 as well. Gears 1,3,5 are handled on one clutch and 2,4,6 handled on the other. I'm having my tranny replaced currently at 21k miles.

Has anybody tried changing out the SST fluid to see if that resolves the slipping and other issues?

My SST transmission auto downshift sometimes from third to second in manual mode at cold. No problems when engine is full warm. Someone there have this problem? My 09 ralliart have under 4000 miles. I owned this car from a couple of month and I'm not quite sure how use the differents modes. I find normals modes (anyway if selection is 1 or 2) passed fifth and sixth gear to early, sport mode is funny but not all the time (must drink 4 or 5 coffee cups). Except when shifted fist to second manual mode is a compromise. What guys think about that?
Can we do some adjustments on this twin clutch?

I haven't noticed any slippage but when I first start the car the 2 normal clunks seem to be getting louder, I have also noticed most times shifting either up or down in normal is rough and almost like it rev matches, but waits a split second before engaging the clutches. Other times it's butter smooth. I'm not sure if I am just paranoid but it seems as if the clunking and the roughness are getting worse with time. One of these days I am going to flash back to factory tune and see if it is just something in my tune. I personally think it's just a matter of time before it goes out, before buying the Ralliart I had worries about the TC-SST and it seems like I had a good reason to worry with all the failures people are seeing.

While we do read about a decent amount of issues on here, keep in mind that what you read on here is a pretty small population of the entire RA community out there. That is not saying you should not be careful and that it is still not a concern, but just because 10 people on here have had "failures" doesn't mean yours will fail. =)

^^I couldn't agree more. I tend to stay out of these threads because all they do is make you paranoid and worry. Any forum always has the worst of the worst, the best of the best, and then the rest of the people. You only usually hear from the best and the worst!

Never driven a manual car I take it?

Here is a short video showing an example.

In 4th or 5th gear when you put it to the floor your either going to accelerate like normal or it's going to rev up but not increase speed as quickly.
