Hi. When you say it is a slip fit, do you mean that it should spin freely on the main shaft? It doesn't seem right that mine spins freely. Wouldn't that make it really inaccurate? I've been considering peening in some divots to make it "catch" onto the main shaft. Stop me before I damage a possibly irreplaceable part!
Were still talking about the transmission where the speedometer gear slips on the tail-shaft, correct? If so, as Kevin has already said, the gear is a slip fit on the tail shaft until the yoke is installed and torqued. This should tighten the gear so it won’t slip. If it does, as”Pre ‘68 Dave” has said, either flip the washer or install a shim to tighten the gear.
