Could  you explain where you "shim it up?' Would that be like a washer around
the  shaft--if so, how thick? Etc.

Eventually these are going to be a  problem for all of us...

Geza, I use SS washers on  the top of the body underneath the first piece
that goes on the shaft.   Each one I've done is different.  It's a trial & error
trip and  sometimes it goes quick sometimes it take a long time to find the
right  washers.

    Eventually.........we are already there.  Just  about every Vanagon that
comes in here has the throttle body worn out.
