Yes, it does. But how quickly I can't determine under the car, since the symptom is only noticeable under spirited driving.

Yes, this is the way it went during installation.

Yes, they're all stock. Type A with overdrive. Engaging OD does not slip, though I always use the clutch and so then it does. The slave and MC are all new from TRF (well, new three years ago).
I'll give the Pedal assembly a look. Then again, I've had enough new parts on this that didn't last long, it could be the MC or slave.
