Don't take the clip out unless you have a new one to replace it with !
You will know if the clip isn't doing it's job as your diff will feel very tight. I found mine was slipping after building the car and it's 1st run on the hall carpet, I had to tighten it to stop the slipping and then the diff felt far too tight - could still slip though..
After a quick run, I lost all drive as the clip failed completely. The diff still feels tight though when it fails, just the drive gear spins freely when the clip goes.
Now I have the Schumacher clip in (looks like a very different kind of metal) it's fine.
I really do think that people who put the clip in the wrong way round will have a problem, if you were lucky and it feels / runs ok, chances are you put it in the right way round !
