So I'm out here now playing around with it. With two shims, one thick one the thin. It still sticks. So experimenting I took one of the shims from the hood didn't use the others and put just the one shim with the bolt closest to the engine so it kicked the starter out a little more instead of down. It doesn't stick anymore and still turns the flex plate but it doesn't sound right. Doesn't sound like it's trying to turn the motor over. Just a flat sound without the rrehhh rehhh sound. Lmao, pretty sure that's an official term.
