New pivot ball and fork questions?

[selmerguy]

I put in a new clutch (xtd stage 4) about 3 months ago. Anyway I had to do the job twice because I did not shim the pivot ball. I reused the ball and fork. Anyway now I am having clutch engagement problems again. I figure that the pivot ball is worn too much and the fork might be aswell. I checked my hydrolics and they are fine. The master is adjusted all the way out too. I ordered new pivot ball, TOB, and fork and am about to take it all apart again. Should I shim the new pivot ball? Or since it is new just take out the washer?

Look at the very bottom of this link (the very last pic of the end of the fork and the slave rod). This will tell you if you need to shim or not.
