give her the beans. more skinny pedal.
I have had my PP2 for a year and a half. One of the smoothest clutches i have experienced. It is either one of two things you are used to something even smoother or there really is a problem give it a little bit of time and if it still continues just bring it to a dealer and let them deal with it . I am going to guess it is just what you are used to .
I am used to the tremec in the 350 and T56 on the Terminator. I can’t imagine I’m not giving it enough gas but I’ll try that
or since its a sloppy box maybe you are starting in 3rd gear by accident sometimes. ive done it a couple times not knowing and if you let it out to quick she dont like it.

Took it through my favorite backroads and got the rear axle temp overheat warning. I had read all about the car needing a diff cooler for track use (and that is also mentioned in the supplemental PP2 manual) but I never thought it would be an issue with street use. A little disappointing having to slow down not even half way through my usual run. Ambient temps were only in the mid to high 80s.
Another thing I've noticed is being unable to apply throttle early through a turn and that's before any sign of wheel spin whatsoever. I have a feeling the computer senses the lateral Gs and decides not to let you throttle through no matter what. This seems to have been resolved with holding the traction off button until it says "Advancetrac" disabled instead of just traction off.
Perhaps one more little thing is that I find the throttle mapping to be a little on the lazy side. I do my own heal toes and I feel I have to hit the gas more than I'd want to. Sport + and track mode seem a little better but I wish I could have a snappier throttle response without being forced into the stiffer suspension setting. Or maybe I just need to get more used to the car. I just can't nail the heal toes 100% perfect just yet.
Beyond that I gotta say the car has met and exceeded all my expectations as a fun driver's car. Clutch and shifter a peachy despite the forums leading me to believe I'd at the minimum need a spring a bracket. The car looks and sounds awesome but it's so much more than that. Handling and grip are world class even with factory alignment (a bit light on negative camber). Very neutral and confidence inspiring which makes the car super fun! Nailed 1.12G on a smooth right hander!
It is odd how some PP2s diff gets hot easier than others. Ive never had mine overheat and I've pushed it on tracks and back roads. I did change the fluid at 3000 miles and was a little surprised at how bad the fluid looked and how much sludge was on the plug. Put royal purple in, normal weight, and triple wrapped the exhaust near the diff and my temps now run on average 50 degrees cooler than before even with these 100 degree days. A lot cheaper than a cooler. Might be worth a try.New owner of a PP2 here and absolutely love it so far. Today however I ran into my first gripe with the car.

Thanks for the advice. That sounds great. I will give header wrap and upgraded fluid a try and report back.
Did not experience any limp mode just the warning. I would actually recommend being cautious if you ever get the warning. Hitting OK makes it go away even though the diff hasn't cooled down.
I ordered some Motul gear oil and a pair of Thermotec clamp on heat shields. I look forward to see how much of an improvement these two make.
