i didnt i looked up fly wheels and it showed the shims along w/flywheels. then looked more into it and it looked as if they were used to replace the step that were ether worn dow or resurfaced. do u know if i can do that to this one?

i would think the wear is negligible since it looks so good. the shims in my opinion are made for when you have it resurfaced.i have replaced a lot of clutches that were not resurfaced and never used a shim.
