When you were having trouble setting backlash, it reminded me of the first gears I installed in my bronco. After I mic’d all the shims, I realized no two shims were exactly the same thickness (could be because I was using a Yukon kit, I don’t know). Anyways because of that, when I got to the point where moving a shim from one side to the other was just switching from one side to the other of my spec, I would switch two shims, ONE from EACH side and that’s how I brought it within spec because shims were sometimes just one or two thousandths different.
