Who sells them and would a flywheel shim work just as good? I have a new flywheel i have to install so either one would be just as easy to install.

We have shims here that go behind the slave. I think they are around .150" thick. As long as you have somewhere around 1/8" to 3/16" of gap with the tob fully seated you will be fine. If you've got more than that, you can use the shim we have to close that gap up.

I wouldn't recommend doing a shim between the crank and the flywheel...

So you do sell shims? I emailed Y'all and got a return email that said you do not sell slave shims. I wanted to order it at the same time as my lvl2 rebuild kit .my TOB to trans face distance is 1.985 and my bellhousing to pressure plate distance is 2.193 so my gap is 0.235 so the 0.150 shim would have worked great. i made one from 1/8inch (0.125) plate so i should end up with 0.110 but i think i may still get the 0.150.
