You can still buy steel disc and shim kits.

Your discs look fine.
What happens is each disc wears a little then there is lots of play in the spider gears. Use shims to get it in tolerance .001 to .005

The center pin gets worn too where it goes through the carrier.
And the shims under the small gears get worn
The hole for the pin in the carrier gets worn too.
The side of the pin gets worn from the axle shaft.

THe clutch pack total thickness (with shims)also affects how tight the axles fit, when set up properly the pin barely clears the axle shaft buttons.

Setting up the carrier is as detailed as a ring and pinion if you want it right.

Well fudge now I'm back to square one. Most everything in this looks good with no real wear to speak of, as shiny as some of the discs look I assumed thats what was worn. I've done ring and pinions before, this is the first carrier overhaul I've done. Do they make a kit with just shims and guides?
