Short: Wrong spacers sent with kit. (2) CORRECT 0.050 shims, (1) INCORRECT 1.00" shim.
The incorrect one was supposed to be only 1/2". NOT 1". So as I was told by the manufacturer, it was basically burning itself up at a stop sign.
For all those installing the ACE twin disk clutch from ACE, or the same ones sold through Shelby American, make SURE you use the black .50" spacer with the other (2) 0.050" spacers for your throwout bearing. Not the aluminum silver finish 1.00 spacer. Mine lasted a tad over 5k miles with one day at the strip. Your clutch will end up looking like below...
Ace is fully covering the clutch unit, shipping out next day and should be installed tomorrow. Darryl has been outstanding with his customer service dealing with this issue. Engineering got involved as well so it's a noted situation. Just everyone make sure of the shims they are using.
