Assuming 5/6000 size: 3x5 if memory serves, but 3xanything reasonable would work without clearance problems.  Anyone confirm?

Technically that washer is made with a slight bend or curl to give it some springiness.  Without this shim, you'll feel slop if you pull on the handle parallel to the driveshaft axis.  Does that make sense?

I had a few of them and checked the dimensions at work...here are my notes: 5189 Driveshaft Shim (ID checked using pin gauges...(4) .159" & (1) .163" or 4.04mm - 4.14mm.  Thickness is .008" - .010" thick when flat, but .015" when in cup shape.  OD is 8mm or .315".  Material is probably brass or copper.  This shim is actually U-shaped or cup-shaped.)

ah I see...thank you

and yes - my handle was indeed pulling which is why i tried troubleshooting it. I think I may have inadvertently recreated the springiness with my homemade hack of the popcan shim. There's not much movement anymore in the handle pull...

Glad to hear that your fix worked.
