Default shimming the diffs the right way on B44

Hi guys!

I shimmed the diffs on my B44 as per manual and went good for about 45 battery charges (a 3x5 minutes). The the were completely worn and i rebuild the diffs and shimmed again as per manual. Maybe i should have thought about the fact that after 45 packs there are some more shims required because everything beds in and bearings do get a bit more play.

So i heard the noise again after only 5 battery pack charges. Now my questions is: if you have replaced the gears for the seconds, third and fourth time how many shims did you use on both sides of the diffs? 3 and 4 obviously doesn´t work anymore after a rebuild.
A mate said 4 and 6 are suggested in the new manual but this manual is nowhere online.
I was wondering if there is someone who can tell what will work most likely for all B44 gears when rebuilding.

Thanks in advance!
