If the SM transmission is a similar design to the M, where it can pick up a loose ball bearing, I would want to look for chipped gears. If there was one, the other gear might be damaged, and either shaft could be bent.

I would be more concerned about the metal chips and paste grinding on the bearings. The bull pinion bearings went out on my H. Two years after that, the pilot bearing died.

As far as the shimming, clean everything so you could eat off it, and put the shims back where they came from. Check it. The IH manual covers that job pretty well.
