uhhh I was wrong on that lol. Turns out there is definitely a groove for an eclip. So, I went and got a new one. It's all good now. Everything is staying together. However, I'm on to my next problem. My engine is running great... All of my drivecups are tight and drive shafts are good. Ive got a nice mesh with my spur gear. But when I give it the gas I've got next to nothing as far as speed is concerned. It does roll around at about a 2-5 mph pace but nothing more. If I pick it up off of the ground and go wheels spin like crazy. I think the slipper clutch might be too loose. How tight is this thing supposed to be?
I love it when im right. i figured an "E" clip was to blame. its easy to miss them sometimes since the gear can cover that slot if you arent looking for it.
OK, on to the next issue.
hold the truck on the ground, and give it alittle gas. see if your center driveshafts spin or not. if they do, then the problem is in your diffs or the output driveshafts.
