Default TSB 054 clutch, is this the "improved" 2002 clutch?

I am getting the 054 TSB done on my 2001, and I am wondering if this new clutch is the same unit found on 2002's that is reportedly better and has more grip, anyone know?

I would imagine it would be. They spent a lot of R&D money fixing the problems with the original clutch.

if 054 TSB is the infamous 'grind' then you are getting the 02 tranny

Many MY00 owners have 02 trannies

TSB-054 is the decell buzz. Clutch related. 2000 and 2001 only
TSB-055 is the second gear grind. 2000 only, I think. Second gear synchros only. Not a new tranny.

The TSB-055 is the grind issue.
