Going to be installing my spec 3 tomorrow with the new hydraulics. It will be my first clutch inastall. Im not to worried about it cause it looks pretty cut n dry. The only thing im not getting is how the shim fits into the picture...I read the write up on installU.com and it doesnt give much description as to the placement of the shim.. anyone able to chime in on that one????

The shim goes behind the Slave cylinder.
