can we buy just the S/C clutch shims?
 
My car is engaging pretty hard right now and want to know if I can get just new shims to install rather than buying a whole new clutch kit.

Looks like a new sc clutch then.calling the warranty to put in a claim on Monday.

I have the same issue except mine is a brandnew clutch -the tolerance was like .20 which is too close, have you measured yours? - I was referred to Shardul - he's trying to source some.

I don't mind the chirp but my car has been getting worse over time.the engagement now jerks the car pretty hard everytime it turns on.

I haven't taken it apart yet but im sure mine are worn out.
I can't believe they don't sell the shims separately.

Mine is also very harsh. I get no chirp, but it's very noticeable.

Scratch did you measure the tolerance? I tried going to locally machine shops, but nobody could make them that thin. Everyone kept saying the material is tooo thin and needs to be punched out of super thin sheet metal...

Ended up getting them from Shardul, but not sure if he can get more...

Yeah mine is very harsh - but I have a brand new clutch - so i think they didn't do the correct tolerance when they installed hence why its so rough.
