I told you in your last post that your pinion is fine it is your ring gear that needs moved. You have too much shim between the housing and the bearing on your carrier. You need to put a thinner shim between the bearing and housing to move the ring gear away from the pinion gear. You should have .006 and .012 of an inch play between your ring and pinion with the caps torqued down.
