There is no specific gasket thickness. You have to install it, check the backlash and adjust accrodingly. I try to keep a few of each size here so I can get it done in one try.

Proper way is with the tranny on the floor. You can remove the outer cover of the PTO and position a mag base and dial indicator to check it. I do mine by feel basically reaching in the PTO once bolted on and rocking the inner gear back ans forth. As long as it has free play, I run it. A little to much is better than a little to little.
