I could be wrong, but the shims I am talking about about are more like small washers, I take it that these are called shims right? I still suck with terminology. Anyway, I put the cone thingy(or collet I believe it's called) on the shaft, then tightened the flywheel, using loctite also, and after that I finished putting on the clutch shoes(which was fun.lol) and now the clutch bell spins freely with just a tiny amount of play if you was to push it up and down, I mean just a tiny amount. So I would think this put on perfectly. I am just making sure I didn't screw up by leaving the very first shim off of it,the one that goes behind the collet, because when I first put it on, the clutch bell would not turn at all. Obviously I worry too much.lol I can't wait to get this baby on the track.
