I took my TA to a custom shop to work on it. They just called telling me the slave needed 8mm of shim. For the Tick shim kit that was the thickest and middle shims stacked. They are giving me the thinnest one back. Had to install longer bolts to hold down the slave cylinder too. They were just getting it back together and haven't driven it yet but seeing they measured it and had the same results it looks promising. They really should include the shims with the clutch kits!

I have a shim kit I bought, never used it and now with the new triple disc have no need for it. Howe racing has their own style of shims.
Would probably sell pretty cheap.
