First, all the shim for the pushrod does is change the offset or working position of the slave cylinder piston. If there was a dimmensional problem and the slave was bottoming out, it would actually break. Some Husky TEs had this problem and needed to be shimmed but the GG does not.

Make sure the clutch lever is adjusted so that the master can return completely, so it can refill completely.

In addition to what Ud_Luz suggested, I'll add to check the fingers of the plates for burrs. I had a brand new '03 with one burred friction plate, solved with 10 seconds of file work.

And the most obvious, being its an '02 is the basket notched?

Once its mechanically sound, use a 5W-40W diesel oil or light weight MC synthetic. MTX is good but BelRay sucks as far as drag in my experience.
