It would likely just require software re program. According to Neel Jani the problem occured partly because the Taupo pit lane is grippy, the use of the speed limiter, and the tendency for drivers to rev and dump the clutch. Unlike other drivers he recognized the problem and didn't 'dump' the clutch in the 2nd pitstop and it worked fine.
I also noticed that on the starting grid drivers rev the engine all the way to 8,000rpm and then let out the clutch. In sufficent revs together with letting out the clutch too quickly will likely activate the anti stall which drivers have complained about.
The AP Racing clutch probably cannot handle too many launches this way I suspect.
