Clutch Question

[EricMichael]

Can anyone tell me the normal amount of shims that are supposed to be on the secondary clutch? It seems to have thin and thicker ones together. Is there anyway to tell the amount needed by looking at the clutches? Also what number holes is the spring supposed to be in for a factory black spring and helix. Thanks

What kind of sled???

 

[EricMichael]

sorry about that, I thought I changed that so it listed my sled. It's an 02 viper.

 

[daman]

put your year and make of sled in your Avatar.

do you have feeler gauges??

if so there should be around .02-.04 in. of play in the shims.

 

[EricMichael]

Unforutnatly no feeler ga. but theres supposed to be some play I take it. The secondary does make a clinging washer noise when opened up or opened up over a bump or something...thats why I was questioning the amount of shims.Any more input would be great.Thanks

You may need more then,,how many do you have know??

 

[EricMichael]

Well it has 6 total, I just checked and 3 of them are thicker than the other 3. the clutch moves from side to side but very little.
