Just had my flywheel resurfaced. Only removed .011. I think it is the first time it has been turned. I can't find a shim washer in my stock less than .020. Do I even need to bother? And if so should I go thick at .020 or try to find a thinner washer?

.011 was removed from both flywheel surfaces. I am referring to the pivot bolt on the front of the tranny which supports the throwout lever. I'm told that it needs to be shimmed out, away from the tranny, closer to the clutch/flywheel to maintain the proper geometry for the throwout lever/bearing.
I am questioning whether that is necessary when the change is so small (.011"). |
