one of the things that happened to me whilst I was shimming my gearbox was very simple but hard as hell to google-fu an answer for.

I shimmed it multiple times and was very very sure I had it very very perfect, but it was still very very screechy. the culprit? pistol grip pinched the bevel gear axle on the high side, thereby forcing it down and screwing with the motor alignment and rubbing on the spur.

take the gearbox out screw on the pistol grip with only the bevel gear and see if it's rubbing or not. if it is, just file down the inside of your pistol grip to give it clearance.
