Saffy:
so guys... what do you do if there is no end float (turns nice and freely though) and it's got already got thinnest shim in and is a model that not supposed to have a gasket fitted?

Okay I have found alternative method in a different version on the LT230 overhual manual to check the preload on the input gear using a spring scale, as long as it's a load-to-turn of 2.26 kg to 9 kg (5 lb. to 20 lb.)  then it is ok. Mine rotates at 7lb
