Also, with the stock CVD's, I'd suggest you rebuild them before you install them to make sure their built right. Use blue thread lock on the set screw and don't tighten down too tight. The coupling being hollow doesn't support the pin as well as the new ones that were just released. So if you over tighten the set screw, it can crack the pin without you even knowing. The CVD will come apart on the track even without hitting anything.
I do use the spacer on the layshaft, but I don't use the shims on the diff at all.
Without them there is 0.15mm of play, the shims are 0.2mm thick, so I haven't bothered.

The last CVD i checked had the grub screw so tight it broke my 1.5mm hex driver
