As was stated before, sounds like the shim that goes behind the slave cylinder. The notches on each side are where it lines up with the slave bolts. Your old clutch didn't have this shim. Spec uses the shims with their clutches. Remove the two bolts for the slave cylinder, place the shim behind the slave and re-install the bolts. Should take care of it.

Don't forget to measure first to see if you even need that shim. Tick performance just wrote something regarding just that (shimming your slave). They even put in pictures. Check out tickperformance.com. Good luck.

well I have the clutch and tranny all bolted in & now I go to put the slave cylinder line back on and the line won't push back into the slave. anyone had that happen? did the oring just swell so It won't go on or do I need to lube the **** out of it? & I had the trans all bolted in before the last post so now I don't know if I needed that shim
