Typhon Black slipper clutch cover

[Neelis]

The centre drive shaft and slipper clutch cover weld together, due to pebbles getting stuck and creating friction.

I am considering to drive without this cover, because the added value seems limited to me.
Do people drive without these covers?

Are you talking about this piece, I think that is part of the motor mount?

Aren't these are the dove tails that slide into the chassis?

No, I am talking about the cover for the 3s slipper clutch.

ARA310874? Looks like it has the same dove tails on the bottom.

If it's just to make it look pretty, it won't matter. If it's part of the mount I would be careful with it because it's structural.

Mine did the same thing on my big rock...
I just run it without it. No issues yet.
I bought 3 new center shafts and none of them had it so I gave up caring. All that part is is like a dust shield I'm pretty sure.

Also running without, no issues yet.

Ok thx guys.

@Jerold I think you should smoke less dude I am talking about ARA311033, not the housing of the slipper clutch.

No problem.
As an added bonus it is also easier to get the shaft in and out without that

Yes, the way I have it now is no fun when you have to remove the drive shaft.
