No one has modeled one, I don't have time to do it as of yet.
Pretty much since they are a helical cut gear, the input shaft tends to push out the bellhousing in an attempt to eat the clutch. It happens on the 6speed models somewhat often on high hp cars w/hook.
The 5speed models it is yet to occur, but I am tired of being the "first" to break shit...not the goal this season.
The theory is that the plate strengthens the "inside floor" of the bellhousing. This keeps the drive gears from seperating, and does not give them the opportunity to start to fatigue the bellhousing.
The method works great for some of the high hp 6speed guys that USE to break cases.
