Shiming your Clutch This Shim Diagram might be a help for some of us visual learners. 
Once you've got your two measurements, make sure that your "EQUALS BEARING CLEARANCE DISTANCE" (from the Diagram) is ~1/16" (or .0625) to 1/8" (or .125). Measurement "A" should be bigger than "B". If you come up with more than 1/8" (or .125), add an appropriately sized shim between the slave and the transmission in order to get the measurements where they need to be.
If there is no difference between the two measurements, or if "B" is greater than "A", there could be a problem with clutch engagement which could result in premature clutch slip and eventually a total failure.
Here are some links to our shims:
