Typhon Forward play slipper after installing steel spur

[Neelis]

After installing a steel spur gear on my Typhon 3s, I have for- and backwards play on the slipper clutch assembly. I did install the 4 slipper plates.

I don't see it as a big problem, because the center shaft will push the clutch assembly in position, but that means the forward bearing can move for and backwards. And I am not to happy about that.

Tips/solutions are welcome. Or tell me to stop being anal about this

You really Don't have to worry about it Because once you install the center driveshaft.. its spring tension will push up against it to keep it from that (forward & aft) movement.

So, just relax and stop being so OCD about nothing.

Are you calling me OCD?!

Agreed, that fore and aft play already existed from factory with the composite gear.. nothing to worry about, as tex mentioned the assembly is loaded when the center shaft is in...

It's not a huge issue because the drive shaft should keep it back....but I'm OCD and added shims between the bearing and slipper because I noticed the side of the spur had been rubbing on the mount.

Which of shims did you use?

That scene always made me laugh when Monica started vacuuming the vacuum.

10x14. I have them in thickness of 0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,and 0.5
I just find the sizes I need on AliExpress. Even picked up the 12x16 ( if I'm remembering right) for the arrma diffs)in various thicknesses and the correct id/od shims to eliminate the LSD in my Mojave EXB front and rear.

Shimmed the slipper today, added a 0.5mm thick shim, happy days.

In the picture I had 0.5 and 0.2 installed, but that was too much.

Isn't it a nice warm feeling when you bolt it back together and there is no slop. Just feels higher quality
