I have a Spec P-Trim and I need to measure if I need to shim for proper clutch engagement. heres a link to a how to video

but my transmission's bell housing is sealed to the transmission. So thats not an option. any ideas or suggestion is much apreciated. Thanks!

My st trim supertwin clutch needed the shim behind the slave for proper pedal throw. The P trim should be the same, as the only difference with the supertwins is the discs.

You can measure from bellhousing /motor surface to the clutch fingers, then measure from the bellhousing on the trans. to the bearing surface, like they did in the vid. and subtract those two . you just need a long straight edge to do it.
