Proper slave cylinder spacing questions I recently when 10 rounds with a LS7 clutch and lost. No matter what I did the clutch refused to disengage enough to get in gear without grinding. THERE WAS NO AIR IN THE SYSTEM. Of this I am sure. Currently I'm driving the car using a worn out clutch given to me by a gracious forum member.
One of the things I did to try to fix it was install a 2mm spacer behind the slave cylinder. I did this because measurments from the trans face to the fully depressed throwout bearing and the bellhousing to the clutch fingers showed a 7mm difference.
What should this measurment be? In one old thread I saw a mention of .050". This was of course not for a OEM unit and may be irrelavant in my situation. I'm not sure what the slave cylinder travel is, but I'm guessing 7mm is a good part of it. Evne though the LS7 clutch is not supposed to need shims, do I maybe need shims?
