http://www.advic.co.th/Images1/TECLO...0Indicator.jpg Look there where are you seeing 5 between 1 and 0?
If you are check gear recomendation that might be too tight. If your pinion depth is off it will screw the back lash up.
What pinion shim are you using?

This makes no sense. You say you have 5, but 5 of what? and you also say you have no shim on one side? Sounds like the wrong carrier to me.
