Jeremy is right. Not sure what shop you used to have it installed but if they are not a shop that more or less specializes in our cars then they wouldnt understand just how picky the clutch setup is on this car. My Spec didnt need the shim, and i know this because i measured it myself about 5 times before reinstalling the transmission. I hate to tell you this but you really need to either take the car to a shop that knows F-Bodys, Or drop the transmission yourself and take the proper measurements. If you know the measurements then there should be a more defined root cause to your issue. SUCKS i know....

yeah, i will be pulling the trans this coming week, I did not take the measurements because spec told me that it would be fine with a new flywheel and their provided shim, I guess the trans wil be coming back out this week, sucks but I'm not spending more money for another shop to do it, sucks because this will be the second time I am doing it besides the other shop. thanks guys for the help

I've got a Spec 3+ in my 427 and once broken in it's been great. I run an aluminum flywheel.
