i noticed that several shims come with the new 8 legged QM twin clutch. i searched but couldn't find a clear image where those are installed. as i noticed we add them according to the clearance we need.
anyone could elaborate or post a pic where to install them?
thanks

 

Those are the shims i am talking about

 

Push the bearing out of the slave cylinder, being careful not to push out the actuall inner sleeve. The bearing is held in with o-rings so a little pressure will easily separate it from the inner sleeve. Put the washers on the back side of the bearing and reinstall.

 

so basically i measure the distance between the bearing and the clutch teeth and in accordance i add the shims on the back side of the bearing.

 

ive had two QM clutches now and ive never used any shims

 

where the clearances right without the shims?

 

and what are the colorful ones used for?

 

Honestly I never even checked when I put them both in. I've never had any issues

 

did you even bother to put a peddal stop?

 

yes i have a pedal stop

 

do you think lowering the clutch pedal can do the job?

 

still the colored ones can't figure what they are used for!

 

When I put mine in, I talked to quartermaster and they said the EVO throwout bearing is already setup for the correct height and you don't need to shim it.

You really don't need a pedal stop either, but it definitely makes the car easier to drive.

I imagine the colored shims are merely different thicknesses.

 

oh ok!!
did you by any chance check the clearance? and is it right that you check the distance between the bearing and the pressure plate legs?

 

bump

so we do not need to shim the new 8 leg clutches for the evo?
