Mine built 10/15. 1st to 2nd is good, it's the initial start-off that is a bit slow to engage. I've gotten used to it, so doesn't bother me.

Couple weeks ago, I threw it into third and got zero grab, full slippage. Backed all the way off, still wouldn't catch. Took like 20 seconds to pump and baby the throttle to get it to hook up. I'm actually really pissed at this point. Imagine an Aston doing this the hell that would unleash.

June/July 2015 I think. Absolute POS honestly. I was thinking about requesting a voluntary recall action against Jag the other day. I've driven a clutch that was ready to give and this feels like it. At about 3000 miles it started just feeling like a Honda $300 setup from Autozone.

I have an appointment in a couple of weeks to remove the clutch so a new one can be sized. The clutch fabricator will be able to test the capacities of the new clutch before we install it.

I'm bringing mine in for an oil change on Tuesday. The clutch is on the list of things to check, although they will probably find that it is working properly. I don't have real problems with mine, but I'm generally gentle on the clutch and gearbox, more aggressive on throttle and chassis.

If JLR were to get their act together and fix this, I'd make the swap immediately, but there's no way in hell I'd go through what Unhingd is doing to try to make it right.

The delay valve is a different story. I don't notice it (much) in daily driving, but away from the commute and feeling sporty, it's a problem. I haven't had issues where the clutch just wouldn't engage, but I have adjusted my driving to account for the weak clutch. I shouldn't have to do that.
