Running 1/8 or 1/4? A 3 speed may be a better choice depending on what your doing at the weight and hp your suggesting.

We ran a 3906# with driver 1100hp car N/A all season with an aftermarket case and internals like Fabio said. Tore it down after the end of the season and it was burning the clutches up, only problems we had. Went ahead and switched to a 10 clutch drum while it was apart.

Blake just has 5 in that monster of his.

If it is slipping the fluid will get smelly-discolored............a lot of slip it'll lose high gear.
