I have had machined many Vanagon flywheels, installed new clutch assemblies right outta the box and never ever seen any problems. Why would you shim and shim what ? I do not understand.
>>>>>>OK, now that you have resurfaced the flywheel, you have introduced the issue of shims. I have not done this myself, so may be speaking out of turn here - BUT - as I understand, flywheel resurfacing requires shim adjustments. Maybe someone with more specific knowledge about this can step in here and either straighten me out, or clear the air on the issue. But be aware - don't re-install the flywheel until the answer is clear - Do you, or do you not - adjust the shims after having the flywheel machined?<<<<<<<<<<
