It only applies to LS1 clutch kits. There is a shim that goes behind the slave cylinder to move it farther forward. The LT1 clutch design uses a fork to control the slave whereas the LS1 uses a hydraulic piston.

well ****, I had to take the slave off the tranny cuz the gold fitting wont move to separate. Now the tranny is at a shop so if it did have a shim its gone. Anyone have advice on how to separate the fitting?
