No, you shouldn't need a shim on your twin disk. Like you, I had a RAM Powergrip HD without the shim and it was toasted real quick... but the McLeod has lasted through one full season of drag racing, and is going on its second. Every bit as strong as it was when it was new.

alright thanks man! so you do you think that shim could be the reason the clutch wont go down at all? the trans is fully bolted to the motor? the line to the slave cylinder isnt hooked up but i dont think thats the problem.
