Default Ram clutch...use their flywheel or stocker

We have a car that we put a ram clutch in and used a new stock flywheel. Now the car is having trouble going into gear. The shop we got the clutch from says we need the ram flywheel because the clutch isn't fully disengaging with the stocker. Does this make sense? I don't really want to go through the expense and hassle if it's not the problem.

I have the ram hd and used the stock flywheel with about .025 removed to resurface and have no problems. I didnt use any shims or such either.

So you guys are shimming the pressure plate away from the flywheel? The clutch came with a spacer we put behind the slave.
