Basically w/o many minutes of video:

- build up the clutch w/o shims.
- the spring nut can normally set one turn more from flush with the flywheel nut
- be sure the clutchbell can be pushed against the shoe, if not take out the inside bearing.
- the gap is the amount of movement of the bell when you push it against the shoe as a zero point and pull it as far from the shoe.
- with shims on top of the thrust bearing you can set the gap, I use mostly 0.6mm with a new shoe, 0.7 with a used shoe.
- The endplay is set with shims against the flywheel nut, fill it up until the axial play is arround 0.1~0.2mm

Then when started the engine set the engage point of the clutch with the spring nut.
When the clutch gets more slip after some use, just move an 0.1 or 0.2mm mm endplay shim to the gap shims.
