The shim looks normal, you'll need to measure it to see if its bad or not. It's hard to say what the issue is. If I had the trans in front of me, I'd figure it out in no time. It's hard to diagnose a tranny problem with just a few pics. If all the gears and shafts are fine, it can only be a bearing.

So the plot thickens, few bearings are now replaced in the transmission, just waiting on getting some shims to get the preloads I wanted. Last night I decide to take off the flywheel as I wanted to replace the bolts and resurface it for the new clutch disk. here's what I found, I've never seen anything like this before. Good thing I looked. It was an ACT flywheel. I'm guessing a bolt loosened causing this? They were torqued and Loctite when installed with the new engine, but some seem to come easier than others. Either way I'll be ordering a new flywheel now. Crank looks fine, just need to give it a quick brush, looks like some of the material transferred. Bolt holes look fine in the crank. my guess this definitely was a factor in the noise as well. By the time it's all said and done, I'll have a new flywheel, bolts, clutch, TOB, and tranny bearings with preloads I want. Hopefully she'll be good to go then

I'd clean it up with some sand paper and a grinder.
Just kidding, you definately need a new crank! By looking at the threads, it almost looks like you didn't use red loctite. I also never reuse flywheel bolts.
