Default 8.5 S Spring Posi

Ok here we go. I've changed the posi clutches numerous time on my 80 Camaro since it was new. Always used GM clutches and basically had no problems installing them. So now since my dealer said they are no longer available from GM I had to go to the after market. The kit comes with 2 .060 shims which have to be used and then they have 2 of each, .010,.015, .020. The new clutches are a little thicker than the factory ones too. From the factory it came with a .094 on one side and .098 on the other. In a previous rebuild I also put a .012 shim on each side. The thing I'm running into is when the clutches are in at about the tightness I've done in the past the spider gear shaft can't slide between the axles (C clips) . If I take out some shim thickness out so the axles can get by the splders are sloppy. I've heard of guys installing thinner c clips or grinding or buffing the axle ends. If anyone has any ideas or what I'm missing or screwing up please let me know. Thanks, Randy
