Went through 6 used flywheel housings to find one that ran out to .005..Horseshoe shims are used if you use a gasket on the flywheel housing.I set mine up with no gasket and no shims,used permatex ultra grey instead. Correct flywheel housing alignment provides smoother shifting and less chance of clutch chatter..as an added bonus sliding the trans into the pilot bearing during assembly is a breeze,with everything aligned it drops right in.
