You need nothing else. The clutch comes complete. You will just need access to a BMW scan tool to do the relearn.

You will need new fluid and filter with a clutch change.

No problem, was just curious. Sounds like everyone is happy with the SSP clutch packs! For me the drivability is a huge factor since my car is DD in stop and go traffic. I am going to wait for my warranty to run out then go meth, tune, turbo's and cutch packs.

Do you recommend the S or the R for someone pushing around 650whp? What is the difference in those plates? They look the same from untrained eyes.

Actually that is a great question. I actually recommend to my customers to drive in "sport mode" during the break in period. Keeping in mind to keep the RPMs under 3500 for the first 500 miles if possible. There are some that recommend to drive the car in "sport" mode, while others say "normal" mode is the way to go.
The internet really gets people confused on what to actually do. The dual clutch is new technology and people get really confused reading so many different answers on these topics.

SSP RECOMMENDED CLUTCH BREAK IN PROCEDURE:

SUCCESSFUL ADAPTATION FIRST (MOST IMPORTANT) DO NOT SKIP STEPS
DRIVE YOUR CAR CONSERVATIVELY FOR THE FIRST 500 MILES
KEEP THE RPMS UNDER 35OO
DRIVE THE CAR IN "SPORT" MODE
AFTER 500 MILES, HAVE THE TRANSMISSION ADAPTATION PROCEDURE DONE AGAIN FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
LAST STEP: HAVE FUN WITH YOUR INVESTMENT

SSP Adaptation Procedure for BMW DCT Transmissions

2007-2016 BMW DCT Clutch Relearn Procedure
Clutch install complete/ fluid filled to capacity
1) Transmission will need to be brought up to 80C temperature before any relearning can start.
-Raise car on a hoist, and run thru each gear for at least 10 seconds (reverse also). This procedure will make sure that the work has been done correctly, while bleeding all the air from the valve body assembly.
2) Touch point learning procedure
-E brake up (locked position)
-Car in Neutral
-Brake pedal needs to be held thru the entire procedure.
-The RPM will “drop down” as the procedure progresses
-After procedure is finished, make sure the car is in “Neutral” position, shut the ignition off.
-“Procedure is successful”

3) Gear Learn Procedure
-E brake up (locked position)
-Car in Neutral
-Brake pedal needs to be held thru the entire procedure.
-3 different levels of shifting will occur with this procedure
-After procedure is finished, make sure the car is in “Neutral” position, shut the ignition off.
-“Procedure is successful”

4) Torque Curve Reset

-E brake up (locked position)
-Car in Neutral
-Hold Brake Pedal Down
-Ignition on, but engine off during this procedure
-After procedure is finished, make sure the car is in “Neutral” position, shut the ignition off.
-“Procedure is successful”

5) Valve body Relearn Procedure

--E brake up (locked position)
-Car in Neutral
-Engine running HOLD ACCELERATOR AT 2000 RPM WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL
-DO THIS PROCEDURE FOR 2 MINUTES
-After procedure is finished, make sure the car is in “Neutral” position, shut the ignition off.
-“Procedure is successful”

PV1/PV2 RELEARN SUCCESSFUL

The NEW clutch will need to properly be broken in for 500km of normal driving conditions. Absolutely DO NOT break the clutch in on a wheel dyno. Premature wear or clutch burning will occur. There is not warranty for this. Do not do any wide open throttle pulls. The clutch needs to be shifting frequently for proper break in of the clutch plates.

After the 500km break in:
For best clutch performance and longevity, do the following procedures:
-On “M” Series cars make sure the clutch clamping force is turned all the way up, and traction control is OFF. This will allow you go gain 6 complete bars of pressure for proper clutch break in. On Non “M” Series cars make sure the car is in SPORT MODE for proper clutch break in.
-Relearn the clutch touch points
-Relearn the gear box at this time.

The package arrived Kris. Thanks.

Guys in case you really don't realize it, Kris really steps up to the plate if you ask him. If you ask him for advise regarding your clutch, use it because he's not telling you something to waste his or your time. He really wants to see your car on the road running properly ESP if it has a SSP Clutch in it. Just food for thought.

I recommend the Spec-R. Going with a little heavier clutch will give you a little room to grow if you plan on adding power in the future. The Spec-R drives like a stock clutch.
