Hi Riketsu,
I remove the 0.1 mm shim from inside the clutch bell (the area just in front of the spring tension nut). This is so the clutch shoe does not have to travel a large distance to reach the clutch bell, but still enables the clutch bell to spin freely. I do set my clutch with play (I presume you are referring to the end play?). Currently, when my clutch is fully assembled I have approx. .3mm of end play (clutch bell movement).
NOTE: With the shims on the inside of the clutch bell, I use Kyosho shims (not the original Mugen Shims), because the original shims have a large O.D and will make contact with the outer race of the bearing.
I hope this helps.
