The shimming in the kit should be fine (there is no need to alter it) it will be a failry tight mesh to start with, but after a few packs it soon becomes free.
The best thing I can suggest is to send you gears back to your local Durango retailer/Distributor, they will check out the gears for you to see if there is an issue with your gears.
When you get your new gears, shim them as per instructions and run the car for a few packs in a parking lot to help bed the gears in before you go to the track. (You shouldn't normally have to do this) but if you find your gears break in the parking lot then there must be an issue elsewhere in your car.
Hope this helps

I will agree with Adam on this, We have given them some right abuse over the last few months and Adam a lot more aswell.
There was a shed load of Durangos at the Players this weekend 8 of which made the Elite 24. And the track had landings on carpet on the brakes and fanned gym mat corners etc etc and I dont think any durango had an issue with the gears. We also givem stick at the browtowe indoor series.
I ran a small file up and down every tooth on both the diff gear and the crown gear ( always done it for my 1/8th scale) just to make sure there is no molding flashes and the like. Also check the crown /pinion bearings are ok and when the diff is installed that the input shaft does not have to much movement.
And like adam says run the gears in !
