I think i know why the slipper spring gets shorter its because when you slipper starts getting loose it starts to over heat and today i took my slipper apart and found my brand new slipper spring has shrunk:c now. I ussualy tight the slipper one turn loose from tight but i think now that ratio will change meaning maybe at 1 turn loosen its going to feel loose instead of feeling right. So if you start feeling your slipper is kicking in too much stop before you overheat your slipper clutch system and save your spring

I think i might have to buy the rebuild kit again:/
 
Also i had a lot of black powder everywhere and im sure there is some inside my front stock bearong. Its brand new bearing im going to switch it when i receive the ceramic remplacement one
 
Also be aware that loctite on the spring is bad too. Try to avoid that.
 
The spring is shorter because it wears in and fatigues a little bit when new.
