how many of you guys had to use spacer on your clutch? Just curious, Spec quoted me on a spacer. I bought a used stage 3, and dunno if I should order the spacer or not. It is pretty cheap, but the guy I bought clutch off said I shouldn't need it. So what do youguys say? Did you need the spacer or what?

My last install was a spec stgII and I left it out, needless to say had to drop the trany and install it, to get the clutch to disengage.
NOTE this was a heavy type of gasket material, they sent me. Now it is time to replace my cluths again. Went with a stg 5 and they sent a heavy piec of metal a bit thicker. I am thinking of swapping it with the same thickness of a different typ of material, like a phenolic type to act as a insulator to keep from transfering the heat from the trany to the slave.
I guess what I am trying to say use it it wont hurt it can only help prevent some of the heat transfer from the tranny to the slave to the fluid. As we all know heat has only added problems to the clutch set up, of the t56 on the F bodys.
