    Shim/washer for yank verter

    Alright. I recently found out I need a shim
    /washer between the flywheel and the verter to make sure the converter is far enough into the trans. Is a standard washer the correct width? Too wide? Not wide enuf? Asking because mine didn't have any with it

    Is there any set width I need to be looking for? Or a way to tell the correct width?

    lol sometimes searxh cxan be a pain the arse, it makes it so much easier to ask but then again you know it is, some people just have to adverise the search button lmfao

    the article should work well for ya, all washers that are factory made come with different thickness, or there not percise, i would look into machined washers if i were you

    I measured it out. Using a feeler gauge mine didn't call for shims... According to that write up.... You couldn't of crammed .187 in there with a hammer. Came out well under that...

    I personally like to see .125 but anything under .187 is fine and never tighter than .062. BTW I like that wright up!
