SLIPPER INSTALLATION
A24) Install a slipper plate onto the top shaft, flat side
out. The flats inside the plate will key to the flats
on the shaft.
A25) Put a slipper pad on the 78 tooth spur gear supplied in your Kit – the
larger one from the SC10 will not fit. (left & center photos). The hex of the
pad fits into the molded hex in the gear. Now turn the transmission so the
top shaft with slipper plate is facing down. Hold the plate on with your
thumb and slide the spur gear, pad side up, onto the shaft so the pad &
gear are tight against the plate. Keep pressure on the spur so the pad
stays in its hex until step A27 below. This
is so much easier to do now than when the
transmission is in the truck!
A26) Turn the transmission back over so the top shaft is pointing up, but be
certain the slipper pad remains engaged in the spur and the spur is tight
against the plate. Put the second slipper pad in its place on the spur and
slide the second slipper plate, flat side down, onto the shaft.
