If so keep it on. If moves the slave closer to the clutch. Helps disengage more.
My car did not have one I installed one that came with my new clutch. worked fine then I removed it when i changed my new clutch after the old one went bad. At high RPM when I would 2-step the car would roll off the line and burn my clutch. I put it back in and fixed it.
So I say keep it.

Sounds like a shim to me. Caliper it and tell us what the thickness is. You "shouldn't" need one on a stock clutch like the LS7

Every car is different. I would measure it and let us know. There is also a great sticky at the top of the manula trans page that will give you a better explanation on what it does/how to measure.
