TD have a new one: http://www.team-durango.com/part-inf...artNo=TD310243

The washer used there is a 1/8th rallycross clutch bell shim, done that same mod in the past and it works.

If yours has worn speak to Durango,, I phoned their service line and had a replacement part sent out which is hardened and not the same as the original and its worked fine ever since

Thanks Ive emailed them as its late, hopefully they reply soonish

This will stop the nut from tightening the slipper right? I can't get mine set hard enough it still slips

[AmiSMB]

Yes if this spacer has worn too much it will stop you from being able to tighten the slipper up any more. You can improve the situation by using thicker AE slipper pads but when fitting these you may have to cut some of the edges down so that the pad fits the spur perfectly otherwise it will move the spur eccentrically and you will end up stripping the teeth. I just dremelled off the worn areas on my spacer and then used a 1/8th clutch bell shim either side and that protects the ends of the spacer.

I found the AE slipper pads just dropped straight in, no fuss, no trimming.......

Will have to see if my spacer is worn tho!

Mine had worn and collapsed and was running on one bearing
For about a month i reckon i noticed a wobble and presumed it was this spacer wearing , no one local had one in stock
This thread made me check properly and i was amazed it had even been running
fitted the upgrade part and replaced the bearing
It had collapsed leaving only the shells
Tough cars these 210s sweet as now

i would urge any one else to check mine was almost about to wreck the gearbox i reckon
pictured is the old and new spacer and a bearing shell
the old spacers edges were ragged the bearing was long gone
