This is a follow-up to El Toro"s posting. I obtained a couple of pieces of sheared off .020 shim stock from my machinist. My images show two of them placed between one spline and its groove. It would be better to have used a .040 shim, giving less potential for wear with less surfaces to rub against each other. But, the idea is there. Janicholson mentioned the use of "machined L-shaped shims." I don"t understand what that means, as my shims are merely flat. I think if I can get a series of these shims in place in all of the spline areas, it would help. The shims would all be trapped by the inner race of the tapered roller bearing toward the center of the shaft, further trapped by the longitudinal dimension of the transmission connection, and, finally, by the washer on the outer end of the shaft...which is held in place by a washer with its bolt and lockwasher. What do you all think of this shimming scheme? From one of the responders, doing nothing may be ok, too.
