You need to set the gap PROPERLY, not just remove shims. Correct gap is somewhere between .015 and .040 inch, off the top of my head. If there's ZERO gap, the clutch will not disengage. If the gap is too great, the clutch either will be intermittent or won't engage at all.
You can pick up a kit of shims (and more) at AutoZone for about $2.
