[QUOTE="DCguy, post: 16700588, member: 196849"] He's talking about the OEM flywheel spacer which sits between the flywheel and pressure plate on factory setup. I don't think it does anything more than spread the clamping load evenly on the flywheel and prevent it from getting marred up when torquing down the flywheel bolts. OP, this spacer SHOULD NOT sit in between the crank and flywheel. If running an OEM flywheel, I would re-use the spacer, but its not going to change anything in terms of clutch stack height or engagement points. Some aftermarket clutch manufacturers, especially when using their flywheels, may not allow for a spacer as it would create interference between the bolts and pressure plate. ARP for example specifically states not to use any kind of washers/spacers with their flywheel bolts since they are chamfered under the bolt heads. In summary, i'd say you're ok without the spacer - you likely have something else going on. Perhaps the clutch wasn't broken in properly or there's some binding in the driveline.
