The bread clip is wedged in the outer part of the clutch to press it in closer. I’m not certain you need do anything other than jam the bread clip in there.
An Internet “hack” that makes people feel clever.
For a while.
The shim is done on the retaining bolt.
The shim won’t break, wear, or fall out with time. I’ve got several years on the XC shim repair. Perhaps 75,000 miles. Same on the T5. Still working perfectly.
A proper repair.
The Packard, thank you for asking, needs a bit of engine work. Re-Babbitt on the no. 1 rod bearing. I might convert over to regular shell bearings. All waiting on both garage space and funds. Middle child just graduated from college, oldest from medical school, last month. Youngest is in her freshman year of college.
So, there is hope
