In future will the BJ4WE kits include the B44 slipper clutch?

They will not actually. The guys that were running them during the Euros were testing the setup for the B44. They were running them locked, or almost locked anyway, haha.

Andy it is easy to tell that you are really proud of Jconcepts and all that they have made. And I sort of feel the same way. The thig that gave it away was the Cheeky little "Ha Ha Ha" at the end of your post.:D

Dahomie, if you are still having problems with the slipper clutch i now have our slipper upgrade kit available for the S4 / BJ4WE. Which we think cures the problem with the slipper clutch coming undone and also always you to run the slipper looser which in turn puts less stress on the rear gearbox.

Myself and Chris D having been running this mod since the Oswestry national without any problems.

Yes PLease Jonathan let se some Pics?. I do not have any problem, but they might come..

autoxvw 03-09-2007 04:52 PM

Yes Johnathan, you did send me instrucions on how to do the slip upgrade but some pics would be very helpful as well.

jordix 07-11-2007 12:18 PM

sorry but will somebody say that this slipper its a shit!, you canīt adjust it on race, threadlock donīt works, cyano in the nut?....ther T-nut ears broken....what kind of slipper it is? I know, this slipper stinks, I need to go to a race with 5 or 6 slippers? JJAJAJAJA please, dont make me laugh.

albertobdq 07-11-2007 12:44 PM

JAJAJAJAAJA I told you! You'd bought a BX. HAHAHA

well, get serious, maybe the Bj4 slipper is the worst part about it. I've seen many issues with it and being honest, for a top level car that kind of headaches are not acceptable. My pals with the BJ have to always use threadlock in their slippers, almost lock it, or just full lock, in wich case it'd be better not to have any slipper at all.

I hope that Jconcepts solve this issue asap because they developed a great car that everybody is trying to duplicate en some way or another, but the slipper is getting people angry.

andy05 07-11-2007 01:43 PM

Will the B44 slipper not fit?

Lee 07-11-2007 02:04 PM

Or maybe if you guys build it as per the manual with decent threadlock you will be ok. Its not hard, the metal nut it a big improvement over the plastic one and at the weekend i stripped a spur (my fault) i changed the spur, rebuilt the slipper thread locked it and ran it for another 4 runs, no problems no extra slip. Easy!!:D

So my point is, its not shit if you build it right

jimmy 07-11-2007 02:07 PM

I think a lot of people do have problems though with the new design - richard lowe has two built up so he doesn't have to mess about. Personally I only ever rain the original slipper which could be rebuilt without threadlock.

The B44 slipper looks to be a much better design which can be easily tuned - but to fit the BJ4we you'd need the centre drive shafts from the b44 also.

DaHomie 07-11-2007 02:44 PM

I have all parts for the B44 slipper ordered (hopefully) and will assemble and test fit as soon as they arrive. I look forward to actually having a slipper :-)
I do think that the front center input and CVD will have to be exchanged as well, but hopefully not the rear one.

First one that completes the build, please write a short report on it in this thread (I will if I am the one).

By the way, for the Bj4 slipper Lee, I actually agree. I started this thread and had huuuuuge problems. Once I got a GOOD threadlock in there, no more problems. But still the original item is not really a slipper in that sense I believe, more a strain-relief for the plastic gears.

fastr 14-11-2007 12:29 AM

Has anyone actually tried to use the diff thrust-bearing in the slipper?
