Unfortunately, the one-way assembly is ever so slightly different than the normal diffs, so I don't know how to shim that one. So far, everyone that I race with (and including myself) that has had this problem that you've stated about the ZX-5 shimmed the diffs as shown in the instructions and their diffs work great afterwards.
i shimmed as per kit set up diff as per kit the set slipper to slip before diff ran off road no problem i agree with they guy with pred shim it tight run in on bench you should have no problem try rc10.com tc3 section for advice as they have been doing shaft drive forever hope this helps
