It say's in the manual "reduce the endplay to minimal with the use off shims right after the springnut", so i need to shim it so that the clutchbell has minimal movement on the crankshaft axel? I ask this because the clutchbell can move over 1mm on the shaft? Do i need to shim it so that the clutchbell has minimal movement? If yes, doesnt that affect the clutchbell setting off 0.6\0.7mm ??
Maybe a dumb question but i find it difficult to read exactly what the manual means with endplay (Me being dutch with a englisch manual can cause this)
Thanks for any advice on this!!

Yes, place shims (the small ones) between the clutch nut and the inner bearing to reduce the end play to a minimum. This will not effect the clutch gap you previously set. I find that the more end play I have the more aggressive the clutch will engage. I suggest you read the article "How to build a centax III clutch" by Glenn Caully (if you have not already) on mytsn. It is a great article.
