Shim at M20 flywheel - how thick?

[Chuck-Michigan-e30]

Hello,
I have two shims (probably part number 11221262827). It fits between the flywheel and the 8 bolts going into the crankshaft. I have a ton of parts and ended up with 2 shims. One is 2.75mm thick and the other is 6mm thick. My engine is the 2.5L 1987. Which shim is correct??? Chuck

2.5mm is manual transmission, 6mm is automatic if i recall correctly. Did you do a manual swap and auto shim is from that ?
