Get a larger book.

Actually is is a great design that goes way back to the 1978 or so SAAB and more main stream with the Mazda designed M5OD trans found on 1988 + Ford Ranger and full sized trucks.

Some advantages are:

Less parts / assembly needed to make the system work.

Self adjusting ( this can be had with an external salve also however )

Smaller external footprint of the bell housing / trans.

Less friction in operation ( think of how a disc brake caliper works. )

No need for a snout on the trans to guide the release bearing.

The slave is hollow and concentric with the trans input shaft.

There is an external bleeder.
