First, be sure the starter is not still trying to run, as in the switch linkage sticking.
Don't think shimming is going to fix it. But, just to be sure, pull the starter off and look at the wear pattern on the starter gear. See if the gear appears to be damaged from going too far into the flywheel gear. If it is, could be something up with the crank thrust bearing, letting the flywheel move too far forward, but let's not go there for now...
What's "supposed" to happen is, the gear spirals into the flywheel when the starter motor begins to spin. The gear remains in the flywheel gear until the engine starts. Even if the engine does not start, and you let off the switch, the gear remains engaged but not turning. Once the engine starts, the force of the turning flywheel gear spirals the starter drive out of engagement, back to the retracted position on the starter shaft.
If the starter drive looks good, feels good, ratchets out like it should, the spring and bolts are good, just oil the spline shaft and try it again. Sometimes slightly revving the engine will kick it out. If it still hangs up, try replacing the starter drive.
