    The fingers should touch the slave a little. Not enough that they're pressing in more than an 1/8". Shims are mostly used to bring the slave closer to the fingers because of the aftermarket bell housings or clutch kits are slightly different then OEM depths.


    I have a QuickTime SFO BH and Monster stg 4 clutch and did not need to use any shims.

    I run a SPEC 3+ and had to use a slave shim. My old RAM clutch didn't require a shim.
