I have a flywheel that I know has been turned but I am not sure how much so I don't know what shim to use. Since trial and error wouldn't be very easy or practical I thought I would see if any one knew what thickness it is supposed to be. thanks, Todd

I've had a couple V6 flywheels (one 5-spd, one 4-spd) turned. I've put both back together with no shims and had no problems with the clutch.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

I've been putting clutches in Fieros, as well as other vehicles for the past 20 years, each time the flywheel gets resurfaced. Have never shimmed a flywheel yet, and never any problems. Some of these flywheels were resurfaced 3 and 4 times.

Have the flywheel resurfaced, put it in, and think nothing of it. If you feel you need to shim the flywheel to have proper clutch action, you are simply covering up a different problem.
