It's working great behind this little 500hp small block. Had it out banging some gears last night in fact.

The steel mid plate got hot spots in it and I am thinking, it would not properly release one of the friction discs. When warm you could not shift into gear with out the car moving and reverse was impossible. I originally though the problem was due to the slave, but I obviously proved myself wrong. Should have changed it while everything was apart. I does not pay to be cheap.
