yup, that's what i wanted to verify... will lock tight it and make it tight since it's shims and no sleeveIf it is a solid shim pinion, then the yoke nut just holds everything tight, yes? I think the problem he is having is the pinion depth is wrong, which is the shims. The nut is just holding everything tight and holding the yoke on. The crush sleeve needs to have it snuck up on.
