Sorry to hear about your experience, but misery loves company if nothing else. I've been messing with my setup off and on for 4yrs 9mos/1874 mi now... mostly due to the hyd clutch, and I've experienced "the wall" shifting down at 6k at the track. Much to the disappointment of a couple other project cars, I've replaced doing actual restorations with occasionally trying to make this stuff work the way I expect.
