Hey you guys!
Does anyone know if I have to shim the driveshaft on the motor in the title? I don't think there was one there when I took it apart. If I don't what is the worst that can happen. I guess I should ask, how can I tell if I need to shim it?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Worst that can happen is you buy a $400 gear set...you need driveshaft shimming tool to know if it needs/how many shims..
 
I took it apart because the vertical driveshat bearing disinegrated and then the forward and pinion gears got torn up. \
It was not a good noise. Anyway, I have the new gears, bearing and some other stuff that got ruined so now I have to figure out how to put it back together.
This is what I call fun.
