I have seen VERY few that aren't correct (unless people have been playing with them). Should be between 0.35 and 0.5 mm (as I remember). Make sure the clutch area is clean of oil/grease (I use brake cleaner) if you are having trouble with the compressor shutting off.

Re: [MBZ] OK Marshall
Kaleb, It's set with small shims from Nippondenso and if not done correctly, not that it's difficult, it'll eat the clutch! I saw that happen a few times during my days with Toyota. Nippondenso is a spun off subsidiary, or was anyway, of Toyota Motor Corp. I suspect the ones not done correctly were done by lazy morons. Get the right shims and you're golden.
