WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a transmission requires shims to correct the angle of the output shaft to the propeller shaft, shims can be obtained through the parts distribution system.

Installing most shims will change the transmission angle approximately 1/2 degree.

When shimming transmissions, use a shim made from steel stock at the necessary thickness. Ensure that the shim contacts the full width of the area to be shimmed. Do not use washers.
