Has anyone installed the Rosehill push type slave cylinder on the ford 351/427 with the Tremec 500 or 600 tranny? If so how does it work for you. Any leaking problems?

I've used them quite often.....really nice pieces.

jimbo01,
You also might want to try Mike Fortes at Fortes Parts Connection.
He sells a kit with a bracket that uses the CNC push slave.
Don't know if the kit you were looking at uses the CNC, but I'd recommend it over a generic one.

Good thing about the Rosehill piece is that you can find the slave in any auto parts store.

...good thing, too.

The CNC is a well made little unit. Sure it costs more ($65 vs ~$20) but I don't like to skimp.
I'm sure Brent would agree on that.

After several conversations with Forte Parts Connection I found they produce a 7/8" and 1" CNC slave cylinder. The master cylinder that will fit the Backdraft cars using the Girling mount from Wilwood that are close to these sizes are 3/4" and 13/16" bore. I have not found a CNC slave that match the master cylinder. I understand the bore size of the master is to be the same for the slave.
