With my build I found that the rear was spot on with the amended shimming recommendations, still a bit tight but good as per the instructions. With the front I had to remove one of the shims fitted behind the pinion, then the front is still a notchy but ok. I actually found that the gear mesh would be tight on one half of the gearwheels revolution and then a bit more free as if the gearwheel wasn't quite true. But this will run in ok.
Just remember that the amended shimming is a recommendation, or starting point. Just set it up so that it is a bit tight, this is so that it can bed in properly and then should free up after about 1-2 hours driving when you should check it again.
Hope this helps.
