Care to explain?
There can be no lateral play in the downward direction for the bevel gear (it 'sits' on top of the pinion). But if there's room between the top of the bevel gear and the top bushing, there's lateral play there.
Now maybe your bevel gear sitting lower than a normal one, so by not shimming the top half you allow the bevel to move into the 'correct height' when the pinion gear and motor are installed? By shimming the top half you are essentially not allowing the bevel gear to self correct it's height when the motor/pinion are installed.
Note: If you look at Tirador's system diagram pic, that's my up/down reference.
Tys, I think I'm going to have to borrow some pixie dust - my new SPR has magical little gremlins in there that won't come out!
