You'll get a better response if you place this in the manual transmissions section under chasis, suspension, appearance

spacers

i had a similar issue with the LS7 clutch...
I used a flat dimensional shim that fits behind the slave cylinder - effectively allowing the pressure plate to be pushed further. Prior to the shim, There was too much freeplay prior to engagement with the PP levers and the clutch barely disengaged.... apparently there are multiple thicknesses...I just bought and installed one..not sure if it was actually the ideal thickness.
