Default Monster 2 install

I just installed the monster stage 2 into a 2001 SS. Monsters says not to shim the slave so I didn't put this spacer/shim on the back of the slave. My 2002 didn't have it so I assumed it was part of the clutch kit that was already in the car. Now the clutch is extremely short when disengaging/engaging. I don't kno if this is right or not, but I'm guessing that I need to do something different... Any help?

Im sure its fine, just give it a good break it before you start beating on it.

On my monster stg 3 i have a high engagement/disengagment point. but i adjusted it correctly with my tick.

I just had my monster lvl2 installed a month ago and it has a short pedal. It was a lot different and took some getting used to. Only thing I don't like about it, is if you slip it too much it smells burnt.
