Eeeemmm...... What piece is the hat washer?
xD

the washer from inside. its machined so its smaller on one end. you'll know it when you see it. it doesnt look like a regular washer

The washers on the inside of the top hat will make it have less slack , washers past the tophat will have more slack. So reaarrange the spacers so it's ok but make sure it's enough so when the driver disengages the clutch doesn't pop out of place.



So the clutch would go where the most amount of grease is shown (Where the little balls are protruding) so make sure it doesnt slip off that from all the slack. Whats shown is less slack. 90% sure I think.

DO you mean that ¨special spacer¨ in the middle of other two slack spacer at the bottom of the pic?
And have i done good putting the small spacer inside the clutch?

Oh. You have a thrust bearing & no top hat spacer. That "special spacer" you speak of, is actually a thrust bearing. It allows for smoother back pedaling. That's why it feels so rough. Put that back in. You may not have the option to adjust the slack since that thrust bearing may be needed to prevent the clutch threads fron hitting the springs in the axle

JUst saw skype

Here are the pics:






In those pics, the clutch is fully extended, another question that have come to my mind is, should it be touching a spacer when its fully extended?
And based on those pics, what is missing? I have 2 normal spacers more that came stock but i take them out cause i thought they were the slack washers, should i put them back?

You're gonna have to put the washers back in. If not then your clutch may fully disengage and completely unthread from the driver or the clutch could end up grinding it's threads on the springs.

Aaaaannnnnd i'm never buying a coaster.

Thanks tom, you were usefull. I have already put everything together and its running smothly.

You need to put all the spacers back in. The ONLY one you can change is the hat spacer and you can do this buy purchasing a new one at a hardware store, ususally one is around. I cant guarantee it though.

Haha you guys are fags lol

I really need to get a sarcasm font to use.

That was my first thought but after seeing the pics I realized, for whatever reason, that federal didn't use a tophat washer on the female coaster. Not sure why.
