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.

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.
