Mine's running great for now. Absolutely minimal traction at rear wheels when shifting at 4500 RPM lol.
I am treating it as a power enhancement in moderation. I won't push it, keep from revving high and make sure for example that throttle fully off when pressing clutch. My gut feeling was the annulus threads were loaded by high RPM and possibly quick rev climb as might occur with pressing clutch while throttle engaged or just neutral revving. Even more so if you have a lightweight crank pulley. Also the traction fluid needs to be proper viscosity based on average driving temperatures in your area. There's thicker stuff for hot climates and thinner stuff for cold climate use. People that store their vehicle in the winter will want to use the thicker summer stuff if the temps will be warm to hot during driving season. But if you drive in freezing temps with the thicker fluid that might also put extra load on the annulus thread.

I suppose pressure against the compressor creating resistance is going to "overscrew" the threads.
