To shim the pivot ball or not to?

[2point3Tsi]

no definate answer I found, people seemed to try both ways and it works. just want to know if there are any bad side effects to shimming the pivot ball and all new parts. i.e. ACT 2600 clutch
ACT 12lb flywheel
new slave and master cylinder (bled and adjusted every way with no luck, clutch still won't disengage)

Now I'm gonna pull it, add new pivot ball and fork, and a cylinder head bolt washer for the shim. Does having the 6-bolt block change disengagment location because the tranny shifted fine with all the worn stock parts?

Any help would be appreciated its coming out this morning

If you using a new pivot ball and fork you shouldn't need to shim them, only if your re using an old worn one.

^^ Shiming is the cheap ass way to save 35 bucks.
