If you go back to 6 plates, use one extra standard thickness steel for a total of 6 that will give you a very tight clearance if it allows. Then open up the feed for 2nd more (again very dependant on what your car runs and how much power you are making) and it will be plenty. I dont add an extra spacer on top of the 2nd accumulator and use the spacers just as they come out of the package and with a larger feed I have got rubber in 2nd gear with slicks at the track before on a near stock tune. Were you having 2nd clutch problems before? Tune has a lot of effect on how it will work but I will definately say that you should be opening the 2nd feed up more than .080-.085. The minimum I use on performance builds, and this is for 13 second cars, is .093.
I'd be foolish to not heed your advice, so I broke open the trans again. I ended up running the 2nd clutch setup that I had in my trans for the last year. I ran the normal friction count and subbed 2 of the normal steels for 2 of the thicker Alto steel in the center of the pack. I left the spacer plate the same and didn't enlarge the 2nd feed any more than .082. I figure if I don't like it, I'll just take it back out next spring and change it. I'd rather go a bit undersize than over for me right now. I'm going to leave my accumulator setup the way I had it. The accumulator spacer I had was left over from my older wbodystore shift kit. I added a trans drain plug so in the event I don't like it. It would be super easy to swap it out.
