Post HELP!!!!! - 944 NA CLUTCH - Pressure Plate Shims

Guys... Need Help..
I installed a clutch on my Turbo.. No big deal..

Now I have the new clutch to my race car. I need to install the release bearing to the pressure plate. I know how it goes on and about the snap ring and how to get that in as I did on my turbo.

PROBLEM.. WHAT TO DO WITH THE SHIMS???

This release bearing has 3 thin shims that appear to go on between the bearing and outside of the pressure plate fingers (snap ring goes on the inside).
How many do I use?
One, Two, Three??? How do I know when it is right?


Thanks Guys!!!!!

if your using a sachs pressure plate and bearing you should only need 1 really. the other ones are there for if its jsut way too loose. when you have the snap ring in place it should be able to move a little bit inside the fingers but not like if you move the pressure plate it shoudlnt slide around but as long as you cant move it back and forth your fine. the bell housing holds it center so you dont have to worry about that.
