don't suprise me, if you think about it the diff is designed to be a certain size and shims are use to correct allowed production tolerance, so odds are that every now and then they get one right and don't need shims

maybe but i would have expected the pumpkin to be slightly oversize in relation to pinio depth to allow for decreasing the pinion depth
maybe they do it to a sweet spot
