This has been here for seven years
I use front motor mount spacers which are slightly too large, but they do work great. The extra load on the pressure plate fingers and throwout bearing is pretty brief - maybe five or ten minutes. If there even is a potential for damage, it must be minimal. I've never had any ill side effects from using them. :) The "spacer tool" is a length of 3/16" threaded rod. You can only use one length for a couple clutch jobs before it becomes useless & mutilated, but whatever. My record clutch job time using this approach is just under one hour on a 1993 900S, done in a field as a favor for someone. Just the pressure plate and clutch, no slave, throwout bearing, or pilot bearing. Kinda blew my own mind!
