Some folk run their chosen flywheel and clutch set-up in conjunction with an engine-to-transmission spacer, either from the B5 S4, or the slightly thinner one from the B7. Now, there's no spacer option listed for the C5 or D2 V8, when running an 01E 6-speed manual. I'm running a genuine Audi S8 D2 flywheel, with matching friction disc and pressure plate. Stack height is 85,0mm. Now I've had no contact between the clutch pressure plate and 01E tranny, when bolted to the engine. No spacer fitted.
Why do some users experience clutch pressure plate-to-tranny contact, resulting in the need of a spacer? Is it down to what flywheel and clutch you choose? Please post your set-up, include stack height, if possible with a picture. My combo is shown below:

Many use the B5 setup with the spacer with good results. I've done this route as well as went the Euro S6 route with a European S6/S8 flywheel, you don't need the spacer for that option, but the flywheel is pretty expensive.
