Default Flux XS plastic spacer in transmission

Hey guys. I'm posting this here to get more hits and hopefully some help. It can be moved the XS forum if a moderator wantsafter I get some good replies. So my slipper pads are completely gone, and this plastic spacer melted today in the snow. Pic below. I can't find the plastic part anywhere. In the XS Owners manual, it is on page 27, called out as part 105308 which is the center gearbox set. I can't find the part anywhere. Anyone know where to get it?

Aww damn. I even looked at that! I must have missed the spacer in the set. Thanks Sparky. Just added it to the order list. I don't know how I burned it up. All I know is that I was driving for about 20 minutes, brought it back to me, and it smelled and smoke was coming from the transmission lol. </p>

Yea,

I had to look twice before seeing the spacer on the parts tree,

Slipper nut must have backed off slightly to get that much heat built up.

That's what I was thinking too. My slipper nit and spring have been funny for a while. It would act like it was tight, but would back off easily sometimes. I guess this was that one time, and now it burned up. That's ok, I need new slipper pads anyway, and I would like to clean it all up before putting it all back together. Sucks that you can't just buy the spacer. That's all I need. I don't need the tranny case or anyhting else lol. Can't decide on the OEM fiber ones or the aftermarket ceramic ones.
