It's diameter simply just needs to be larger.
If you think the using springs are better than the spring washers then yes, the layshaft needs to be re-designed.

The issue is bigger than you think. the layshaft is not long enough to fit a thrust race and is where the problem begins. To get a perfect contact with the SC10 slipper pads on my spur gear you need to use the Mk1 slipper plate and hub and due to that the shaft is not long enough for the thrust race, only a spring or in my case the ZX spring washers and its not good enough.
If Manolis (Skidrow) can make a longer shaft to account for this but would need further discussion as the shaft (before the screw threaded area) needs to be fractionally longer as well as the screw section to account for the thrust as well as accounting for a longer spring for more adjustment) then yes this would be great but I do believe to put this car back up there we need to do a rethink on the layshaft design. To give you an idea, in front wheel drive I did 1.5 seconds a lap slower than a fast B team driver from Durango and Schumacher, so imagine what the car could do if I actually had proper 4wd that had a slipper that actually worked. I reckon I would be a second a lap quicker on carpet.
