Thumbs up Clutch Shimming Made EASY with NEW Tick Performance Slave Cylinder Shim Kit - 3 Pack!

Any of you who have installed a clutch into a newer GM vehicle have likely heard of (and measured for) a shim that can go behind the slave cylinder to ensure proper bearing travel (and thus, clutch disengagement). You may have seen our popular thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-tr...need-shim.html

I'm proud to announce that Tick Performance is now making the use of shims even more precise by offering THREE difference thicknesses:Since there is no way to tell which shim you'll need before measuring, it's a smart idea to keep a few on hand prior to install so you're not held up in shipping if you need one. For this reason, we offer a discounted 3 Pack:All are in stock and ready to ship. Make sure that you measure to see if a shim is needed during your next clutch install - you'll be glad you did! For more information on the measuring process, click any of the links in this thread.

While you're at our site, take a look around! We offer thousands of products and FREE SHIPPING on any order over $100! We look forward to doing business with you.

Manufacturing tolerances vary, not only with clutch setups but with your stock components, as well. No matter how high quality the clutch is, the only 100% safe bet is to measure when installing ANY brand.

Great ! In the middle of my clutch install a few years ago I found that the shim I had was too thick and had to mill it down, this would have been helpful.
