T56 Slave shims and centering of the slave after install?
Hi,
I recently restarted my build project and I am moving onto the clutch/transmission checking and installing. I have a few question or concerns and would like to know if anyone else ran into this issue and how they addressed it.
Build is a LS3 with a T56 Magnum, Tremec F body Bell housing (1386-212-005), Monster Stg 2 Clutch, LuK LSC265B 98-02 Camaro Slave.
Air Gap Measurements with this setup are;
Clutch Fingers to back of Bell housing
A=2.32
Slave with removed spring and resting at the back of the housing to face of the transmission
B=1.93
It appears I have a .39 gap. I need to get to a .100-.200 (Monster recommend .100 to me via email)
Purchased the Holley shim kit: 319-204
Shims included: 0.059 in., 0.119 in. and 0.197
Issue:
It seems I can stack the .197 and .059 to get me within spec, but the issue I see is the slave would normally index to the transmission without shims. How did you guys center it and are there any concerns with shifting side to side since it no longer register on the trans?
I also received some conflicting information about if a shim is really needed since the TOB has a spring to self adjust to the clutch and using GM parts should not be needed.
I will shim the TOB but just trying to get any feedback, or if I am overthinking adding the shims.
