As you can see in the photo, the screw holding down the black bracket (close screw on photos left) touches the 2nd gear housing. Manual says only one shim at the other end of the shaft. Should I be shimming this end too?
I've triple checked and triple rebuilt it, always having it touching. I built exactly as per manual with one 0.2mm shim on the front end of shaft, not this end.

Any help would be great!!

Should there be any play at all on either of the gears on the shaft or should I shim both ends to remove any play?

Aside from that I really wanna get this right to run it this weekend!

Thanks in advance.
