credit where it's due, wasn't me that described bevel shimming. but yes, bevel shimming is the way to go.

I was describing how I solved my screechy gearbox/motor heating problem (even though I was/still am sure I shimmed it perfectly). my gearbox in particular is kind of a mixed blessing in that the tolerances are all over the place, as in each gear needs ~1.95mm of shims total. it lets me get the shimming freakin perfect (and I mean, SERIOUSLY perfect), but the gearbox being so wide causes fitment problems everywhere else.
