Re: t5 flywheel question

In the third gen T5 setup it is used to make a used machined-surface flywheel the same thickness as new for the sake of clutch mechanism geometry. Personally, I have had used machined flywheels work just fine without the shim. In your case with new flywheel, you will leave it out.
