Grumble, don't rub it in :-)

Yep, and now I get to do it after! Emailing Frank I think he's right, 
one of the little spring-loaded dogs fell out, the synchro is spinning, 
and it's a crap shot where they land when the fall out -- like jam the 
slider so it's stuck in 2 or 3. So I won't drive it til I yank it and look.

The shimming itself isn't that hard (like you did, dial indicator and 
pry-load the stack one way then the other, determine optimum and 
buy/make shim).
