pp/clutch spacers

Ok so my clutch is completely f'ed to the point where i can idle the car in 5th. So i have a lighted steel flywheel and it doesn't have the lip the stock one does,so my question is how much space should i put between the flywheel and pp. When i installed it at first i kinda guessed and put about 6mm of spacers.

Light weight flywheels take a lot of practice to operate correctly. If this is not a performance engine, my suggestions is to go back to stock. It's really easy to burn up a clutch that has a light weight flywheel.

If it gets dragged and drifted then I can understand why the clutch didn't last that long.
