Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I need a .005" shim for my Bully clutch?
A: The .005" shim allows for micro-adjustments to your clutch stack height. By fine-tuning this gap, you can optimize exactly when the clutch shoes contact the drum, resulting in more explosive starts and better power delivery off the corners.
Q: How do I know if I need to add or remove shims?
A: If your clutch is engaging too late or slipping, you may need to adjust your stack height. Racers typically use these shims to compensate for wear on the friction discs or to tailor the engagement RPM to specific track conditions.
Q: Can I stack multiple shims together?
A: Yes, Bully shims are designed to be used in combination to achieve the precise stack height required for your specific setup. However, always ensure your assembly remains within the manufacturer's recommended tolerance range.
Q: Why is the gold color important?
A: The gold anodized finish serves as a quick visual identifier in your parts bin, allowing you to instantly distinguish the .005" shim from other thicknesses, which helps keep your pit maintenance organized and efficient.
