amx thanks for the info. Yes, I've tried the C3 pulley with 1 shim then 2 then back to 1. Same thing.

But the stock pulley came with 1 shim so I don't think measuring is all that important since its the stock setup anyways.

But yes, with the car off I can spin the pulley without the clutch spinning, or I can spin the clutch with the pulley slightly starting to spin after a few seconds, which is more a result of the shaft's slowing down causing the bearing to slow down and make better contact with the pulley, and end up slightly spinning the pulley. Hope I make sense... The point is they both spin freely of each other.

With the car on though, the clutch is spinning full force and I can't stop it with my hand. I could press harder, but I'm getting no slow down at all with my current pressing.

Sorry if I'm just repeating info over and over, or rambling for that matter, but I just want to get as much across as possible since I'm a bit worried and looking for any kind of info here.
