Shims or Spacer on E5 Tail?

[wbefield]

While I unstretch my E5, I'm going over it with a fine tooth comb. I have a tiny bit of in and out movement in my tail shaft, and was wondering if a shim will fix it or has my output shaft spacer worn down and needs to be replaced?

That being said, I think I will order both the shim and the output spacer.

Can someone measure the thickness of this shim?

Should be a shim between on end and the outter bearing. Last time I had play on the shaft it was that shim missing.

In addition to the shim between the Tail bevel gear and bearing that came with the kit, I just added a shim between the output shaft spacer and bearing and now there is no more play.
No binding on the gears like there was before if I pulled on the output shaft and spun it.. Problem solved.

Edit: Upon closer inspection it appears that the output shaft spacer has worn the bevel gear when it makes contact. The shim should do for now, but probably should order another gear.
