What would happen if you were to not run a shim with that much air gap?? Would the clutch not engage fully? Or would it just engage further in the pedal travel??

Very good video on the subject. Terminology is a little off/confusing though. "Air gap" as it relates to this means an actual gap between the bearing surface and the pressure plate fingers. These OEM style CSC's always ride the bearing on the clutch fingers. What you've done is set the preload and thus the proper operating range for the CSC.
Good video, I have one question I have a tdi which is not going in to gear when the car is starting, but go in well when off, will something like a spacer on the concentric work for me?
Doing all this measuring in mm instead of inches is 1000 times easier. Why anyone would do this not in metric is beyond me. Literally simple numbers 9+10=? Instead of 3.1245-1.924 blah blah blah. Just use the metric system
