I recently bougth a 94 5-speed from a member on this board. It was hard to get in gear and the clutch will stay lightly engaged with the clutch all the way in. Owner said it would probably need to be shimmed and possbly need a new slave and or master cylinder. He installed the new master cylinder before I picked the car up. It didn't help. he also supplied a new slave cylinder. The car has a fresly rebuilt tranny with new clutch. It also has a new clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, and throw-out bearing. I pulled the tranny tonight and installed one shim from an LS1 cars tranny. (they have the exact same master cylinder) The shim was approximately .050 in thickness and went behind the slave cylinder. After all was done, it didn't help much. The clutch engages a little closer to the floor but it is still very hard to get in gear at a stop and will still stay engaged with the car in gear and clutch all the way in.
My question is, how many shims did you have to use on yours. I know the flywheel was surfaced but couldn't have been that much, right? I have another shim for the slave cylinder but not sure if it is enough seeing as how one didn't do a whole lot.
Any advice from previous experience is appreciated!
