The shims work on the differential itself -not the gears. So, your ability
to shim your AGB tranny will not be affected.

Ding ding!!  Wait a sec.  The shimming thing.  I am gutting a bad 2H for the
final drive gears and putting them in my AGB 16v tranny, along w/ the 2H 4th
gear set.  Will I be able to shim this tranny?
