Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should I use a .010" shim instead of a .005" shim?
A: The .010" shim provides a broader adjustment range, making it ideal for larger gap corrections or when you need to compensate for significant wear on your clutch shoes to restore optimal engagement.
Q: How do I know if my clutch needs shimming?
A: If you notice hesitant engagement or excessive slip during acceleration, your clutch gap may be out of tolerance. Using a shim to dial in the exact gap can reduce slip by up to 15%, leading to better power transfer.
Q: Can I stack these shims with other sizes?
A: Yes, Bully shims are designed to be used in combination to achieve the precise tolerance required for your specific track conditions and clutch setup.
Q: How does the silver coating help in a racing environment?
A: The silver coating acts as a protective barrier against corrosion, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of your clutch components in humid pit environments.
Q: Is this shim compatible with all Bully clutches?
A: This shim is designed for standard Bully clutch systems. We recommend checking your specific clutch manual or using a spring height gauge to ensure your total stack height remains within the manufacturer's recommended specifications.
