AE Vented V2 Slipper Hubs
 

Anyone using these yet that has any feed back?

I got a set and installed them and it binds my transmission. The spur will not spin freely. I take them off, put the stock v2's back on the truck and it spins freely.

Anyone else having this problem?

my only guess would be that your gear mesh wouldn't be set properly. I'm not saying that it couldn't be something else, but slipper pads and slipper plates wouldn't "bind" anything as they aren't actually the gear. check that first, then go from there. Also, make sure the slipper pads are sitting on the spur gear correctly.

I installed them with the pinion disengaged. I reinstalled it 3 times with the same result. After installing lock nut on the spring, the top shaft does not spin freely.

I'm confused! I'll keep messing with it.

i'm a little stumped. check to see if the new slipper hub is rubbing the trans case. if not, i've got nothing. i tried :nod:

Mine did the same. It's the new hub rubbing on the motor plate. I was running the thick motor plate and switched it out with an older one, problem went away. The new plates are machined differently for some reason. I was pitting next to BT when I found this out so he know's about it.

Cool! So it's not me! Thanks for the info!

However, that sucks that AE would sell these with out testing them on the motor plate that they supply with their kits!

So now I need to buy a new motor plate? How would I know I'll be getting the older version?

I sent an email to AE to see if they know about it and what they can do.

I had this happen with stock V2 plates before. Take an axle shim and slip it over the shaft before putting the 1st slipper hub. Should fix the binding.

Not so tight with the screws on the case & use lock tight....

What does this have to do with changing the slipper plates? Nothing, you don't touch the tranny screws to change the plates...

another barely on topic cherry post:D

just busting your balls cherry but my point is the same:o

Transmission case screw's (#6928 )

Torque above screws to tight and the back slipper plate can rub same screws and bind....

Lock-Tight a must use as the screws can easily back off with time...

I can agree with this. Om my FT SC10 I had the trans screws a little to tight and the end of one put a nice engraving in the back slipper plate. If one of the screws is too tight and the new slipper plate having the holes it could be catching inside one of the holes as well.

I know what you're saying and it's a helpfull tip for those new to the car BUT if I put the new plates on my already perfectly working tranny and there is an issue this shouldn't be it. Right? I would put the blame on the new plates being machined incorrectly...


much better post than your normal open ended one liners btw:p..jbyb again

Sad, I have tighten down the Trans case way too tight before , big rub marks on my back slipper plate ......:o:o

Dooh, rookie move..:lol::lol:

still saying that if the old plates didn't rub and the new ones do it's a plate issue, because you don't have to touch the tranny screws to change the plates.

I'm gonna post untill you say uncle, Cherry. Just the mood I'm in at the moment:lol:;)
