Every pinion is different. There is a special tool to measure it. Or you can take the old pinion with the shim and measure that thickness. The go and measure the new pinion head thickness and subtract the two numbers and get the shim thickness needed for the new pinion.

If they are FRPP gears, MOST of the time you can get away with using the factory shim
