the problem is like this.....

when I spin the main drive shaft by my finger (without motor),my finger feels like the gear teeth just like the gear mesh too tight. but actually there is a liitle amout of Play on the gear mesh between the bevel gear and the one way's gear.
anyone has had the same problem ???
for me the instructions on shimming where way off. in the back i had to move all but 1 shim to one side and also change the overall number of shims.

so more than likely its a shimming problem i'd guess.
