The kit doesn't use shims anymore. The instructions are out of date. I went through the same thing. I thought the HD wrench monkies had forgotten them at the dealer when they installed my forwards...
Whew... I did freak out and my wife was like... "what now." Definitely makes me feel so much better.
Themouth... what about item 3... that extra small spring... is that no longer used as well?

On my iPhone so I can't see it. There are five springs. Two big, two little and then a small one that goes on the back of the cam. Is that the one you mean?
I always was concern with the primary chain alignment to know I had the correct washers in place.
The first time with the inner and outer off the bike working on the tranny really left me with a lot of apprehension that at 70 mph something would come undone and lock up the drive train.
I overhauled a GM 2 speed Powerglide when I was 16. I had no experience or schematic. After it was all back together and in the car it was grinding real bad. I went back to the workbench in the barn and discovered a spacer washer had fallen between the floor boards and was under the barn's raised floor. It went between the drive and reverse hub. So I tore it down and it was destroyed. Wound up with one from a junkyard.

Yup, the smallest single one is the one missing from my kit! Got the two large and two little just not the 3rd.
